As a collective practice, Beanotherlab exists in the spaces between disciplines, communities, geographies, and methodologies. Distributed, but interdependent. This tour presents a meditation on the uncertainties and sensitivities inherent in transdisciplinary collaboration. Guided by the metaphor of the stars/universe in continual expansion, we discuss the borders between disciplines as sites of emergent possibility. An invitation to listen to an interrelated narrative where sometimes you need different words to say the same thing, and familiar words gain new meaning.
