Sceptical of the promises of AI salvation, we question our internalised industrial logic and explore how we might find our way back to human being and belonging.

Reflections on lives lost, mugs broken and repaired, and an invitation to give love one more chance before we collectively break under pressure beyond repair.

We dare you to dream, to imagine ways of coming together, both online and onland, and ways of taking the future into our caring, loving hands.

In this Newmoonsletter, we reflect on our journey so far, and explore how play might be what we need to match the absurdity of current end times.

Exploring the tension between how Big Tech wants to shape our bodies with AI and what our bodies actually need, as current events force us to face the traumas and shadows of extractive colonialism.

Under the Black Moon we wonder: what now? Can we stop pretending everything is fine? Is it time to root and ground in place? What feels worth nurturing in 2025?

Unpacking the shadows of (artificial) intelligence by exploring its history, pop culture references, and different contexts.
