Özet

In the pursuit of more-than-human approaches to designing it is a challenge to understand the plurality of more-than-human worlds, especially the multiplicity of the more-than-human lives or biographies of things designed. In this pictorial, we experiment with speculative mapping as a process to explore pluralities of a thing we designed, called wi-fi-no-wi-fi. Using the wi-fi-no-wi-fi as a case study, we speculated through workshops, empirical investigations, and speculation to create speculative maps of different biographies. This pictorial offers three speculative maps and revealed design insights into materials as time, forming of assemblages and spaces, and multispecies perspectives of regeneration.
