By the end of the podcast, Anton poses a question: I want to share a question, or rather exercise, from the book Hospicing Modernity by Vanessa Machado de Oliveira. It can be used to support the recognition of multiple simultaneous affective responses and ideas when we are involved with more-than-human design. What if you were a bus, what would different passengers and the driver think and feel?
