Digital Squatting:

As a form of digital activism or digital disobedience, is the act of claiming online spaces such as domains or usernames to challenge control and digital capitalism. It reclaims virtual ground as an act of resistance, using the architecture of the internet to stage protests.

5 Weak Signals

Swarming Technobiome

01

Swarming Technobiomes imagine infrastructures as living systems composed of distributed bio-technological agents that maintain ecological balance. By prioritizing interspecies wellbeing and restorative justice, they propose care, maintenance, and resource distribution as collective and multispecies responsibilities rather than centralized control.

Infrastructure Multispecies Ecology

Inner-City Mini Agro-Parcels

02

Inner-city mini agro-parcels introduce micro-ecologies into dense urban environments. These small-scale agricultural spaces create conditions for humans and non-human species to coexist, making climate, soil health, and vulnerability visible and experientially present within everyday city life.

Urban Ecology Agriculture Coexistence

Forest Care to Prevent Wildfires

03

Preventive forest care reframes wildfire management as an ongoing relationship rather than an emergency response. Through maintenance, observation, and ecological stewardship, this approach highlights how climate change intensifies vulnerability and how care practices can be shared across human and non-human systems.

Prevention Stewardship Climate Change

Human-Dependent Species

04

Human-dependent species, such as urban pigeons, exist within ecosystems shaped almost entirely by human activity. As climate and social conditions shift, these species reveal how vulnerability is produced, normalized, and often rejected, challenging humans to confront their responsibility in multispecies survival.

Dependency Vulnerability Responsibility

Loopholes of Care

05

Loopholes of care emerge when survival, maintenance, or ecological repair operate at the edges of legality. These practices reveal how rigid systems fail to account for multispecies needs, and how care-driven actions often precede formal recognition or regulation.

Bio-integrated architecture

Through bio-integrated architecture and living wall systems, facades become habitats that support insects, birds, and plant life, transforming buildings into vertical ecosystems.
