Dear friends of Matters of Activity,
With the 60th issue of our CZ#, we would like to draw your attention to the many events and lectures taking place in the last couple of weeks of this eventful year! After an inspiring Berlin Science Week, we look forward to the workshop »Biomimetics, Bioinspired, Biorobotics: Discourses on Nature in the 21st Century«, the exhibition »Sketching Brains« at the Charité Benjamin Franklin Campus, or last but not least, the interdisciplinary exchange »WasserWissen | Parcours« about the coexistence in Water and learning with algae and axolotls.
Please enjoy these last couple of weeks of 2024 and stay healthy!
Happy reading
Antje Nestler & Carolin Ott

Object Space Agency | Air | Biodesign | Cloud | Graphic Anthropology | Haptics | Hemp | Prototype / Model | Stone | Stretching Materialities | XR »TATour« is the title of a virtual exhibition based on preliminary fieldwork we conducted in 2020 at the Tieranatomisches Theater in Berlin (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin). This collaborative inquiry served as a preamble to creating a physical exhibition in a museum space based in a former veterinary anatomical theater (Stretching Materialities, 2021-2022). Constrained by the COVID crisis, we invested our efforts in creating a digital tour that focused on the visible and invisible activities that remained there even when visitors could no longer access them. This recent paper by exhibition curators Maxime Le Calvé, Natalija Miodragović, Nina Samuel, Felix Sattler, Christian Stein, and Clemens Winkler, published in ethnographiques.org, issue 47, presents the production process for this immersive work, describes the creative process underlying this immersive work and its unusual approach to doing fieldwork through 360° fabulations inside an exhibition space, using sketching as a primary method.

Object Space Agency | Ocean | Sound | Sand | Water For anthropologists and artists »doing fieldwork« in contemporary worlds, art can be much more than an object of investigation. Curation and creation through visual, audio, and performing arts are integral to our practices and enrich writing as a medium of thought and knowledge sharing. This online exhibition curated by MoA member Maxime Le Calvé and Jen Clarke was funded by EASA as part of the EASA2024 conference in Barcelona. The selected works explore various modes of living with: with nature, infrastructures, family – through connections to fish, plants, water, land, and sound. From the Salish sea, to plant life in Africa, considering sound and water pollution in Barcelona, and food and seeds in New Zealand.
