There is a long history of thinking about materiality and temporality through flux and flow. The question then is how do we envision such incessant movement? Michel Serres derives this sort of materiality from the physics of Lucretius that sees the a... Read More about Tristes Entropique: steel, ships and time images for late modernity.

A survey of urban climate change experiments in 100 cities (2012)
