Cycles of Circulation asks what cycles do: in ecological thinking, technological systems, political histories and the stories we tell about a changing planet. Working across art, design, political ecology and science and technology studies, the project follows the models and metaphors through which circulation becomes a way of knowing—and governing—the world.
The research moves between media, publications, shared meals and events, workshops and teaching. Cooking, agriculture and sustenance offer ways to work with metabolism at the scale of everyday life: critical and communal practices through which planetary questions become material, edible and shared.
Later research included a visiting scholarship with the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge in autumn 2024, and work at Charles Jencks’s Cosmic House in 2025. That architectural and cosmological thread continues in Cosmic Withdrawal, a commissioned essay published in May 2026.
The SNSF-funded research phase ran from December 2019 to March 2024. Grant and research outputs.
