change is constant; all phenomena (from discourse to action to material bodies) occur in continuous gradients; phenomena are contingent; it is more productive to investigate verbs (processes) than nouns (entities); things—as we understand them—are generated by practice and performance and not from a prior essence; thought and the world are interwoven; and phenomena exist in the multiple (Porter Rosenfeld, 37, 2023).

Sound, as material and as sonic sensibility, makes the possible thinkable in concrete terms and invites the impossible to reinvigorate an aesthetic and political consciousness and imagination. Therefore, listening is the main method of engagement throughout this book: listening to work and to the world to discuss their relationship on a continuum of actuality, possibility and impossibility.

Worlding is an active, ontological process; it is not simply a result of our existence in or passive encounter with particular environments, circumstances events or places. (Foley, 2017)

“The possible is then, if it is a potential at all, not a transcendental but a contingent potential, not of the thing but of our encounter. It is its temporal realization dependent not only on the thing and what it holds before our encounter, but also on the context that frames the confrontation and enables the actions that are its possibilities produced in a creative and reciprocal perception.

— The Political Possibility of Sound: Fragments of Listening by Salomé Voegelin

These possibilities are the actions of the light that produces the rainbow in a water bath, in a place without rain or sun, whose colourful arch invites me to reconsider my understanding of light, water, the gallery, myself, discourse and scientific knowledge. I do not see the work but contemplate its assemblage of things as a mechanism that builds a possible world.” (Voegelin, 9 , 2020)

Worlding is informed by our turning of attention to a certain experience, place or encounter and our active engagement with the materiality and context in which events and interactions occur. It is above all an embodied and enacted process – a way of being in the world - consisting of an individual's whole-person act of attending to the world. (Foley, 2017).

We believe speculation of this nature requires the bringing together of lived-with experiences and philosophical work. We refer to this additional methodological approach as co-speculation. Co-speculation is the recruiting and participation of study participants who are well positioned to actively and knowingly speculate with us, in our inquiry, in ways that we cannot alone. Ron Wakkary 2021

This countering of norms opens the possibilities to empirically investigate multiple alternative existences (or “what ifs”) as lived-with realities of the counterfactual artifacts. In addition to our material specula- tion approach, we recruited trained philosophers who have the competencies (critical thinking, ethical training, philosophical vocabulary, etc.) to help us speculate, reveal, and describe human-technology relations with the Tilting Bowl.Wakkary, 2021

the reverse of shoplifting in which a product is left in a retail store. (Wakkary, 2021)

My object

I am making noise with a ball of wool and some knitting, complete with needles. The sound is incredibly soothing to me and evoked the feeling of repetitive stitching. I can feel the itch to to knit....the needles want to be used (correctly!)

When you have to hold something, that you cannot unhold: a conflict, a pain, a thought, a regret, a large bunch of money. it will take its form in this compressor and get into an array of holdings being mourned..for its undeniable existence...or just an object to be actually fidget in hand.

Just to make the room messier, or tidier.
