Welcome to Studio
Studio ANDNAND is a participatory design and art studio by Stephanie Pau. ANDNAND is offering alternatives to the status quo of futures thinking and futures imagined in a more-than-human world. Works are related to, but not limited to, health and ecology - because the world is made of systems and entanglements, not silos.
Example Projects and Works
[ > ] COLLECTIVE IMAGINATION // WIDER PARTICIPATION
The concepts we think with matter,
the people we think with matter,
the tools we think with matter.
Collectively make sense of each other and the worlds, and collectively re-imagine differently through participatory speculative design, design games and probes. Sometimes, inside an installation.

[ > ] WORLDING WITH NON-HUMAN // DEEPER LISTENING
Who we think with matters.
Who counts in a more-than-human world?
Centering waste materials and tomato plants in more-than-human research and practices. Current lines of investigations: hearing plastics out; attuning with tomato plants and un-readymades.
[ > ] PETROLEUM-FREE PRINTMAKING
What does a paradigm shift entail, practically?
Complexities and wicked problems, probably. Nuances beyond words and thoughts that have to be uncovered and unpacked. Messy, uncategorised, time-consuming, hands-on, quieter practices...

Beyond Dichotomies
About ANDNAND
ANDNAND is based in London, by Stephanie Pau.
There are several ways to read the name of the studio: and nand (nand is not-and in terms of electronics logic gate); and n’ and; or simply a series of a‘s, n’s and d’s, perhaps like a string of alternative DNA. Plurality. ANDNAND in one word also signifies the place I intend to operate from - both and neither, in the in-between space, beyond dichotomies.
