Virtual Ecologies say: “Almost – nearly relationships between living beings and an environment. The project is working towards a digital archive of responses – we are in a sense working towards a screen. We thought about The Notice Board as a screen. The idea of a screen allows us to show an ecology of outcomes. Many of these are fragments – notes from a conversation – quick drawings from descriptions – memories that are fuzzy around the edges. The process of fragmentation allows more edges to connect with. We set up spaces for memories to be shared – allowing things to re-emerge and strengthen in re-telling to someone else. They are unfinished thoughts that gently step towards a stronger connection with the ground beneath our feet.”
