INTERVIEW An Ecological Technology An Interview with James Bridle “We live inside this myth of technological superiority that is predicated in large part on the separation of ourselves from the environment, as though those are two entirely separate things.” High technology is by turns heralded as our future salvation and condemned as our inevitable downfall. Whatever its fate, we understand computers to be inseparable from our modern way of life. But what else might become possible as we open to technologies that reach beyond our own intellect? In this expansive interview, writer, artist, and technologist James Bridle seeks to widen our thinking beyond humancentric ways of knowing. In questioning our fundamental assumptions about intelligence, they explore how radical technological models can decentralize power and become portals into deeper relationship with the living world.  LISTEN TO INTERVIEW
