finally got my hands on interplay! i contributed a piece titled “the unbearable lightness of worlding” about translation, composable brains, edges, nodes, love, and other threads that hold broken worlds together. i had the chance to share some experiments built alongside the brilliant @_l_x_nd_rt_yl_r — a process initiated years ago where, often inspired by spiders, we weave our scattered ideas into cognitive forms. grateful to @moon_emjoi @freudenheiim @alenibee for bringing this beautiful book to life 👁️🌩️🕳️

🌪️ it took nearly two years to piece together this atlas/divination map that I presented a few months ago at @mplusmuseum . i'm still kind of processing what happened to me through the span of this project - trying to articulate in my own terms this sprawling idea/place/identity called china, deciding to move here shortly after, and learning to hold its many contradictory threads with humility, confusion, and affection.
i titled this project "design in rising winds", knowing that the character for wind (風) which contains at its center the character for bug (虫) is a hint that the smallest beings can shape planetary forces. this dispersed map of research and works by 12 wonderful artists, designers, farmers, and friends reimagines what design means in an age of increasing complexity. the project dives into ecologies transformed by chinese geoengineering experiments, where people, organisms, technologies often deemed peripheral, actually recompose the planet's atmosphere. and through their capacity for movement, offer new ways to catch our breath in this increasingly windy world.
🐜🐜🐜

a huge thank you to @mplusmuseum & @designtrust for this generous fellowship, especially @sunnycheungart
@misscxtn @elliot_zhengzhou @marisayiu for their support

a sincere thank you also to yongzhe yan for taking care of me, annah zhu for teaching me so much, travis klingberg for being part of my panel, and finally to ruishan chen for introducing me to his family and guiding me along the contours of his personal story 🖤

Screenshots from a talk & workshop I gave a month ago at @grayareaorg titled "worlding as research" 🪢⛓️🧬
Participants developed an accelerated research project that departed from an obsession, a rumor, a claim and ended in a open world game that they built procedurally, inhabited by autonomous agents obsessed about the same things. They learned to experiment with rapid world prototypes, using custom AI tools made with the incredible @_l_x_nd_rt_yl_r , including a browsing pattern recognizer (that we've been working on for like 2 years lol) and our (slightly janky but very cute) node-based simulator.
a special thanks to @palindrone666 for making this happen again 🪡🪡🪡

Participants developed an accelerated research project that departed from an obsession, a rumor, a claim and ended in a open world game that they built procedurally, inhabited by autonomous agents obsessed about the same things. They learned to experiment with rapid world prototypes, using custom AI tools made with the incredible @_l_x_nd_rt_yl_r , including a browsing pattern recognizer (that we've been working on for like 2 years lol) and our (slightly janky but very cute) node-based simulator.

We are excited to introduce you to the new Mensch Maschine fellows and give you a glimpse into their work and plans for the residency.
Today: Flora Weil (@florawl), an interdisciplinary technologist, designer, and researcher whose practice connects ecology, anthropology, philosophy, and game design. She co-runs Nephila (@nephila.world), a creative studio building open-source tools for experimental worldbuilding.
During her residency, Weil will develop a project centered on the Gobi Desert, using autonomous browser agents to trace how trade, wind, migration, and love shape both environmental and human systems. These web-based “ghosts” gather shapes, sounds, texts, and actions, creating a dispersed choreography that reimagines AI as a medium for sensing planetary rhythms and more-than-human life.
👁 Stay tuned to see how this project unfolds over the coming months. We’ll keep you updated on our channels!
A cooperation with @akademiederkuenste @e.on_foundation @visit_eonfoundation @u_jazdowski

heart broken open by a recent trip back to the gobi desert 💔 where the local hui minority speak a mix of mandarin, arabic, and persian, practice a form of islam that blends sufi and taoist traditions, have female imams, and gather in mosques with chinese/arabic scripts. thank you @akademiederkuenste @e.on_foundation @ewerk_luckenwalde for making it possible to for me to take on projects of long duration, to develop a sustained relationship with a place and let new questions form.
i'm not sure what shape this next project will take, but i think i'd like to trace what a civilizational love story might look like - one that becomes visible at the world's edges, where climate, identity, language, and technology are simultaneously collapsing and emerging. i hope it haunts people the way this desert haunts me, as a place that refuses to stay still, that shows us broken worlds are held together by forms of love that take place outside a stable sense of self 🌪️

I taught my last class at @nyushanghai this month! I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be an educator today and I've concluded that there is no comparable feeling to mentoring young people, while witnessing them figure out who they are. It's a process that reflects who you are back to you, what you believe in and why the future matters to you. I believe the community of students, colleagues, and intellectuals I've had the chance to learn from is like no other in the world - an American university in China is rare to come by, especially in times of geopolitical fragility, and it creates a unique space that welcomes contradictions and holds many truths at once. My colleagues at @interactivemediaarts are some of the most dedicated individuals I have ever met who stay up all night with students to build mind-blowing machines, who consistently play and nurture and question in ways that have deeply changed me. It's strange, but my time in Shanghai was maybe the first time my identity made sense to me and also the first time I have felt prepared to live back in France, the place where I grew up and also avoided most of my adult life. As I return to Paris, I'll carry all this preciously with me, a reminder that the most meaningful education happens with those who show you who you're becoming.
1. biking to work on one of those beautiful spring shanghai days
2. collection of game diagrams
3. AI reading group, one of the only places that has kept me excited and curious about AI
4. my fearless commlab students going from not knowing what blender is to making these rich 3D worlds and films
5. researching the chinternet
6. before
7. and after of my students building a church in my physical computing class
8. answers that moved me
9. is life the ultimate game?
10. delightful/haunting student game about a girl with no pockets
11. playing 1000xresist on thursdays with colleagues changed my life
12. that time students took my class "Baby by Design" and literally made a game about babies
13. semantic kaleidoscopy
14-16. existential bugs
17. cry session w/ colleagues at karaoke
18. cuteness & horror
19. me every day at school
20. thank you IMA for everything ❤️

I believe the community of students, colleagues, and intellectuals I've had the chance to learn from is like no other in the world - an American university in China is rare to come by, especially in times of geopolitical fragility, and it creates a unique space that welcomes contradictions and holds many truths at once. My colleagues at @interactivemediaarts are some of the most dedicated individuals I have ever met who stay up all night with students to build mind-blowing machines, who consistently play and nurture and question in ways that have deeply changed me. It's strange, but my time in Shanghai was maybe the first time my identity made sense to me and also the first time I have felt prepared to live back in France, the place where I grew up and also avoided most of my adult life. As I return to Paris, I'll carry all this preciously with me, a reminder that the most meaningful education happens with those who show you who you're becoming.

What happens to Western categories of analysis (capitalism/socialism, authoritarian/democratic) when applied to phenomena that actively resist such classification?
Can we develop new metrics for measuring “success” in ecological governance that account for cultural continuity alongside environmental restoration?
The work explores how China’s massive ecological engineering projects particularly the Great Green Wall desert restoration initiative reveal new forms of design practice that emerge from contradiction rather than resolution. Through extensive fieldwork across China’s deserts from Gansu to Inner Mongolia, Flora Weil documents how people, technologies, and ecosystems adapt to “civilisational apnea”, the suffocating pace of contemporary life amid climate change and technological acceleration.
The research centres on China’s “ecological civilisation” framework, where environmental governance becomes a form of nation-building that refuses traditional binaries (capitalist/socialist, authoritarian/neoliberal). Weil traces four key phenomena: “inverted breathing” (how systems like Ant Forest’s gamified afforestation operate through strategic opacity), “seasonal howls” (adaptive infrastructures like hydroponics warehouses that transform policy restrictions into opportunities), “carbon LARP” (performative identity construction by rural communities navigating displacement through ecological tourism and social media), and “DHIKR” (the breathing practices of Hui communities that embody simultaneous movement and stillness).
The project culminates in encounters with Hui communities whose cemetery, hidden within an eco-park, embodies the tension between movement and stillness that defines survival under planetary-scale transformation. Rather than seeking solutions that match the scale of global challenges, Weil proposes design as “daily negotiation,” learning to breathe differently within contradictions as they emerge and transform.
The essay ultimately asks: What would design practice look like if it began from contradiction, movement, and breath rather than resolution, fixity, and vision?
