The earth is experiencing the first stage of the Anthropocene: a highly disruptive transitional period of “global weirding” within which established ecological, climatic, geochemical and biological patterns are changing radically and in some cases are threatened with collapse. Material evidence for this planetary transition is abundant and mounting. To secure future habitability, other forms of evidence need to be added: the human aptitude to learn and correct itself and the accommodation of cosmologies that allow for interdependency and care. Evidence Ensembles is an experimental collage of perspectives on the material witnesses of planetary change, their reconstruction and their calling on humanity.
