More-than-Planet Lab is where ideas, approaches and practices are brewed to reconstruct our concept of the planet and planetary imaginary. From satellite images, CO2 data, sea level measurements to GPS data, technology has aided us in shaping our knowledge about the planet. Yet, what does it mean to own sets of data, information and precise imaginary of the planet we call home? What are the Truths constructed around visions of the planetary? How should we narrate and engage in the process of perceiving the planet as a new “We,” transcending continents, species and planets? We offer an experimental space teeming with living traces, narratives and imageries to carve a new lens into how we perceive the planet. Through exploring ongoing projects and participating in workshops, we aspire to deepen our understanding of the planet and raise collective awareness of urgent planetary issues.
