Artist and researcher Heather Barnett will lead two days of fieldwork exploring the area of Bijlmer as a superorganism, a system of dynamic interconnected networks. Shifting perspectives across species and scales, participants will observe, interrogate and interact with their urban surroundings through a series of individual and collective experiments.

Day One: Perspective Shifts; Maps and Models.
Day Two: Stigmergic Traces; Sensory Explorations.
