The everyday collective laboratory


 Philosophical position.
To govern a society shared by people of emotion, people of reason, and everybody in between — as well as people who think their actions are shaped by logic but in fact are shaped by feelings and non-empirical philosophies — you need politics. At its best, politics navigates all the minds-states for the sake of the greater good, alert to the rocky shoals of community, identity, and the economy. At its worst, politics thrives on the incomplete disclosure or misrepresentation of data required by an electorate to make informed decisions, whether arrived at logically or emotionally.”

Neil de Grasse Tyson.

The everyday collective laboratory is a methodology of intuition and artistic enquiry that addresses these concerns as they relate to place, belonging and landscape. It does so by assisting aspects of society to communicate through map making, and the capturing and dissemination of subtle data from a diversity of mind states.

Paul Woodruffe
