Anthropology has never been monomodal, although it may seem that the recent explosion of interest in multimodal, more-than-textual research would suggest otherwise. So we are always on the lookout for multimodal examples from our discipline’s past. In this post we highlight the recent discovery of an experimental multimodal urban research project from the history of our own institute, dating back almost two decades.
What are the possibilities that open up when different modalities of research practice are employed in collaboration with others, with the goal of attuning ourselves to intersensorial phenomena that may exceed any single ethnographer’s ability to grasp? What kinds of values can we create when we give up proprietary notions of research practice and production?

WASTE WHAT? is an open-source cooperative game, which explores how we can think about materials differently, trying out many ways to keep stuff in use. In the game you play as a material recovery initiative. Your goal is to creatively find new uses for discarded things, closing loops and reducing the amount of waste that is burned.
