Juria Toramae and I were recently interviewed by Channelnews Asia journalist Davina Tham on our speculative piece, "Semakau Landfill Beyond 2035". Her article "Where will Singapore's rubbish go after Semakau Landfill is full?" examines the futures of Semakau Landfill and various dimensions of Singapore's trash issue.

IN FOCUS: Where will Singapore's rubbish go after Semakau landfill is full?

Singapore's only landfill has 10 years left, and waste disposal rates are going up while recycling is down. The urgency to "save Semakau" or find alternatives is growing.

Just launched is Cosmogrammatics.xyz - a repository of experimental fieldwork practices run by Michaela Büsse and designed by Moritz Greiner-Petter.

The platform features the speculative futures entry from Juria Toramae and myself on Semakau Island - "Semakau Landfill Beyond 2035": https://cosmogrammatics.xyz/articles/semakau-landfill-beyond-2035/

I have to say that it's wonderful to see the platform develop from its inception to its current form!

How to (en)code #care in a careless world? I am very proud to be able to present our Special Issue "Refusal and the Computational City - From (De)Coding the Machine to (En)Coding Care", co-edited with the wonderful @NiloufarVadiati, and published with Digital Geography and Society!

From tracing fibre optic cables to critically #mapping #platforms, it is a wonderful collection filled with fierce and collaborative #refusal practices, strategies, and collectives against #bigtech. If you're looking for some hope in these dark times, all the articles are shining a light on and celebrating forms of (digital) care and collectivity!

Please share widely!!
