How do we observe, measure, document and understand our environment? How do the methods of our observation/contemplation affect the results? What then , drives or defines the methods of our observation? What are the tools, devices and methods that define and construct the way we see and understand the environment? How can a tool or device offer alternative ways of seeing and understanding, enacting renewed engagements? Can we question/re-tool them? Can we question and re-establish a relevancy between the outcome and the measured/documented? Can we imagine tools not aligned with prescribed functions or purposes? Can a device open our understandings rather than close them? Can a device invite the environment draw or reveal its presence?
