Abstract or Description
'Aqueous Humours: Fluid Ground (Fluid Mapping)' is a paper that both introduces the publication of the same name that Cooke is currently editing and attempts to perform the way in which the book might be mapped in relation to its watery context. In so doing it aims to reorient our current methodologies for mapping water, which encourage normative relationships to the landscape that are contributing to climate change. This mode of mapping water is anthropocentric and is connected to Isabelle Stenger's criticism of the constructed neutrality in 'Modern Science', which has been abstracted from its wider entanglements in order to witness its own 'truths'. Stengers points out that his leaves 'Modern Science' without the ability to speak to wider contexts, such as climate change. This paper understands mapping to mimic the approach of 'Modern Science' and suggests that we queer this quasi-scientific cartography and instead learn from water to produce a fluid mapping that acknowledges water as an agent in its own topographical imaging. It also relates this mapping to curatorial exhibition practice and tries to construct a platform in which curating highlights its own intra-actions and wider entanglements.
