Yesterday Patrick spoke at La Trobe University as part of the Art Forum lecture series. Here's an edited version of his talk and the questions that followed. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5BbDLSvNkU
Patrick shares a goodly yarn with English artist, Joel Gray. Together they traverse the sticky, dominating, Promethean-go-it-alone world of the machine, of the all-consuming Moloch, and yet arrive at a composting place, restoring Pandora's fermenting vessel, her Gaia, her Mother Country – the entanglements and gossipy liveliness of tending the village seeds beyond transhumanism.
Links to Joel's collaborative work are embedded in this video, plus other material from both his and our worlds.
We hope you enjoy this yarn as much as we did making it. Love and power to the brothers and sisters who are learning to dance with gut (Pandora), heart (Epimetheus) and mind (Prometheus) logic integration.
As always, your comments and pitchforkings are more than welcome.

We had a yarn with the indefatigable Morag Gamble on her Sense-making for a Changing World podcast, where we explore the sense and nonsense of permacultural neopeasantry, and end with our song of Martha Postlethwaite's poem, Clearing.

Our household is corporate-medicine free. We do hundreds of interconnected things throughout the year that all stack up to such freedom. In this video Meg teaches us to make two of her more powerful natural flu shots using garlic, honey and salt. No need to hand your money over to powerful interests, make it yourself and in doing so honour your body, your economy, your community and your local land. Meg calls this another example of 'community-immunity'. If we are well in ourselves we are better able to be in service to life.
