Luŋ’thun: Sand, saltwater and collaborative attunements

Our first experiment in ‘writing together’ with our research subject—
the sands and saltwater of a small stretch of coastline in northern Australia. 

Orchestrating sounds and images together with a gentle rhythm of text-based Yolŋu (human) elaboration, we invite others to attune to a material dynamics of collaboration and co-creation made manifestly palpable in the kinetic zones of coastal life. Rather than either simply telling, or showing, we invite you to enter into a slow process of attuning to the forms of sensuous instruction offered directly from the wänga (environment).

In this way we orientate towards research as a shared and emergent processes of becoming knowledgeable with more-than-human worlds. The result is a Yolŋu-led digital experiment in sovereign knowledge production: a modelling of a site-specific, participatory onto-epistemics intended to inspire others towards the possibilities of creative, relational modes of more-than-human research.
