‘Biting on the Same Tail’ is an experiment in imagining new motifs to critically think through the ways in which temporalities and ecologies intertwine with human-made technical systems. Starting from the concept that language and knowledge systems shape and make our world, this body of work reflects on how crisis inducing systems such as capitalism and Eurocentrism have produced philosophical barriers that prevent both symbiotic thinking with the environment, and imagining diverse futures outside of current crises. 

The text attempts  to rethink the role of technology in this: a role which has frequently been leveraged to that of a saviour, an escape route from the crises from which it stems.  Rejecting the innovation centric drive of design thinking, this essay instead begins to map out interconnecting systems, narratives, spaces in-between, and philosophies that shape new modes of thinking with and perceiving environments and machines.
