Poring The Ecocide

The viscous porosity between natural and human-made has become increasingly clear through climate change—including droughts, fires, floods, and hurricanes. As described by Nancy Tuana, “porous events” are ecological disasters that penetrate the surface of our reality. In Poring the Ecocide, 130 virtual portals act as pores—revealing information about such ecocidical events. Entering the virtual pore exposes human-made disasters and activates evidence of individual incidents. Pores as gateways connect various computer-generated spaces that users may ramble through, collecting tokens of the symptomatic consumption of the ecosystem—the Ecophagy.
