this being our first post, i have taken the liberty of going ahead and setting this thing up, regardless of us (as pureInteractions) choosing to continue this blog through an alternate venue at a later point. Several things have precipitated this event: one a need and frustration to get out into the world and start doing/exchanging ideas with others who are interested, rather than just my friends who seem to be getting slightly sick of the crusade to save everything...
so lets get that straight, I wouldnt say that we are out to save the world: this is not another crusade; this is an honest attempt by reasonably intelligent people to create a tool, a method, and most importantly a mode of thought that can be applied to some of the more pressing problems posed by current human and environmental relations.
we will be part software, part implementation, part network, part thought and hopefully, part culture: our aim (as I see it) is to address the current disconnectednness of human beings and their environment: via waste, inefficiency, callous destruction of each other, self and other life, and most importantly, to do so through a framework that PROVIDES forward thinking solutions, rather than just another voice complaining about the eternally unsatisfactory state of affairs.
Im in cambridge trying to finish 16 things at once, so ill leave it at that for now, vague as usual: but still intent on applying ecological knowledge and systems principles to the design of human systems and modes of existence (commercial, industrial, residential, life, work, creation, and of course, food)...
cheers!
