Anna L. Tsing, Jennifer Deger, Alder Keleman Saxena, and Feifei Zhou, Feral Atlas: The More-Than-Human Anthropocene, (Redwood City, Stanford University Press, 2021), ISBN: 9781503615045. http://doi.org/10.21627/2020fa and www.feralatlas.org As I land in the Feral Atlas web page, my computer monitor seems different. The edges are being played with and I begin to notice them more. The usual throngs of information, separated neatly into frames, are disrupted by drifting bits that migrate lightly across the screen, arriving through the margins and then moving out again. Boxes of information become porous borders that cannot contain data. My attention is escorted along these peripheries: blueberry moves out passing over rabbit who moves in, dry clay floats above fire that touches frog and fungi spore. Some items repeat while more and more arrive from the outskirts. As the screen fills with data encountering each other, I am drawn into the weird potentials they propose.
