‘In June, ‘Changing Course’ – a forum and exhibition hosted by CaBA (Catchment Based Approach) and led by Policy Lab and Defra Futures – asked “How can we transform what the freshwater system looks like, 20 years from now and beyond?”

Superflux were invited by Neha Sharma (of Policy Lab) and Phil Tovey (of Defra Futures) to explore this question. Over the last few years the studio’s more-than-human futures work had begun exploring entanglements between ecology and technology to develop the idea of Ecological AI. For this commission exploring water futures and river health, we decided to develop an iteration of Ecological AI, imagining the role AI might have in future policy making. Our speculative proposal – The Ecological Intelligence Agency – considered how labour, climate and data justice might unite to advocate for ecological health.’
