CONNECTOR NODE FIELD

A network of nodes blooms on the surface of the forest floor. Look beyond the nodes and focus on the connections between them. Then look beyond the connections and see the patterns they make. The understanding comes in the spaces in between, in the relational forces that connect and move the points. Move a node and become an agent of change. Take a node and become a custodian. 

Connector node field is a participatory art project. It asks us to consider how everything is connected, from the micro - the mycorrhizel network beneath the forest floor, where fungi join with plant roots to exchange nutrients and information, to the vast - where galaxies move together in unexplained patterns. The connections between us and the more-than-human world are complex and vital. We are all infinitely interconnected, and are but single nodes in a network. 

The connector node field is representative of a sustainable, self-organising system. The movements of the field cannot be programmed but must emerge organically. I cannot transform the connector node field alone. I relinquish the power to change the field into your hands. I can log the actions, but I cannot make it act alone.  

Take a node and become a custodian. Log a node on the map and provide the energy and spirit of participation to power the system. (Update April 2024: the mapping is no longer live. If you have node you would like to log, please email me directly. Thanks to everyone who logged a node.)
