| Title: | Adventurous upcrafting ventures | Authors: | Wernli, M | Issue Date: | Apr-2018 | Source: | Cubic journal, Apr. 2018, v. 1, no. 1, p. 210-213 | Abstract: | Since 2015, the Research Institute of Organic Treasures (R.I.O.T.) has combined fermentation practices and social experimentation in Hong Kong to give biological byproducts from human and urban metabolisms a regenerative purpose. Here putrescible wastes emitted from our kitchens, toilets, and bodies are considered our most foundational design material that contributes to a “world of eaters” (DuPuis, 2015). In this applied design work, the concept of upcycling is socio-materially extended into shared forms of upskilling, and therefore referred to as upcrafting. In an effort to combine practical outcomes with long-term welfare creation, R.I.O.T. brings together laypersons, natural scientists, and artists, into open-ended explorations of alternative knowledge and change making, or what Melanie DuPuis calls “extended peer communities” (ibid: 155). | Keywords: | Urine fermentation Generative vulnerability Radical homemaking Risky collaborations EID |
