Abstract or Description

We are bodies of water and bodies in air, steam and rain. We are hydro-flows, bodies whirling with ancient oceanic eddies and techno-waters. We are ecotones, or transitory zones, where body meets land meets water meets eye meets hand meets machine. Aqueous Humours are bodily fluids affecting our temperaments, encouraging laughter at the anthropocentric knowledge systems that ripple through the hydrological cycle. Fluid Ground is a watery mapping, which denatures cartography through practices of immersion, aquatics, time travel and the posthuman lenses of geological, animal and machine vision. This publication encompasses experimental nonfiction, fiction, diagram, scent and image.

Edited by Kirsten Cooke who commissioned the contributing artists, in order of publication: Harun Morrison, Ezra Llyod Jackson, Melanie Jackson, Joseph Noonan-Ganley, Charlie Franklin, Michelle Williams Gamaker, Lucy A. Sames, Maggie Roberts, Carl Gent. Funded by Goldsmiths College (UoL) and the University of Southampton. Published by Matt's Gallery and The Poorhouse Reading Rooms.
