POST GROWTH PROTOTYPES

[A SERIES WHICH PUTS PROVOCATIVE ACADEMIC MODELS TO WORK]

“All models are wrong, but some are useful.”― George Box. Post Growth Prototypes invites us to question dominant narratives of growth and progress, and to explore speculative environmental accounting models at the limits of the quantifiable. Post Growth Prototypes is a series of critical case studies, which puts provocative academic models to work. This video essay addresses biosphere work, solar income and energy transition in the Anthropocene. Over nine chapters, we will attempt to highlight, through the necessarily distorting lens of scientific models, some of the facets of our contemporary environmental condition which are often obscured, unquantifiable, imperceptible, entangled complexities, and known unknowns.
