Imagining future worlds through sound, art & discovery.
Grounded in research grown through collaboration
I’m Kat,
Welcome to the Ecosystem
The seed: future folklore
The roots: imagination as infrastructure for change
The fruits: interdisciplinary work across sound, story & emerging technology
The wind: blowing ideas across neurodivergent tangents
The water: collective experience for more-than-human connection
odeur to the River
You stinkin stenchbag!
Frothin at the mouth
Odorous beast.
Shall we all close our eyes to gaze at the view while the flies swarm on your skin?
Scum.
Between the trolleys and the rats and the crap
we can barely see across the other side.
To where the real-estate paradise grows on floodplains.
As Stagnant waters grow Stagnant minds.
Stopped sinking things av ya? Thought it was time to get a bit lairy? Start floating our decadence and disarray to plead to these gallant gentry?
Cheeky little cry for help.
Well, we got enough white feathered swans to cover this mess right up
and sweep it under a big-profit rug.
And yeah yeah sure sure, now you lap at our feet,
More and more each day.
The rivers rising! they say. Don’t believe a word of it.
So listen here, simmer down. You will look serene.
I’ll allow a ripple or two, Max.
While you swallow our shit
and sink our secrets,
quietly.
