Dust is a surprising mix of the mundane and the extraordinary. Minerals, organic matter, pollutants, and sometimes even traces of gold are part of its story. It’s a poetic reminder that even what seems insignificant can carry meaning—and value.
Dust doctor, dust detective, dust-divinator, dust-wrangler as umbrella terms for those dealing with dust, its consequences or uses. There are dusty times ahead, for good and ill, and these people will be needed. To mitigate, to diagnose, to treat, and to celebrate our dusty future.
Dust vs dust when it comes to pollen, dust wars, where (engineered)-antibodies are used to stop the activation of the immune system against dusty allergens (like pollen).
The Art-Object acts as a probe into these dusty futures, a sentinel that continuously inscribes the local dust-o-sphere....Too much human in the sample? Perhaps it's time to bring in the other, the canine, the mossy, the outside air. Too much pollen, perhaps it's time for some personalised medicine to stop your asthma. Too much pm2.5/4/10 black carbon, time to be aware, put the filter on high mode, or get away. Too much microplastics, perhaps a flocculating bacterial mist, that sinks the particles to be robo-vacuumed and fused into a plastic puck for the plastics recycler.

“Dust/ futures are already here. It’s just not evenly distributed yet”
