A very short dispatch from Overcoming Carbon Form

Elisa Iturbe continued, in coordination with Log, the set of conversations about carbon form, this time focusing on circulation and movement. Ross Exo Adams, Jesse LeCavalier, and Mimi Sheller all gave great presentations, spanning everything from the difference between Walmart’s headquarters and an Amazon warehouse to the agricultural revolution, but one observation, by Iturbe, stood out - how our desire to stay put in fact accelerates the world: “We set everything into motion, in order to stay in place” and “Mobility is in the service of creating a fully sedentary domesticity.”
