NREM 303 Final Report Map
By Angus Brochez
Journey #1
“There are only a few larger trails here - and many smaller ones connecting them at unknown increments - forming a spider’s web of paths”
Topic
Topic
"I decide to stand still for a time – delighted as a chorus of solitary chirps breaks out – They sound like Brown Creepers to me [...] I find myself wondering what it is they are talking about up there in the treetops"
Topic
"My initial appreciation for every piece of nature as a form of taintless art has been replaced by more of an inattention to details [...] I must remember to slow down and try my best to discard my nonchalance at the current task at hand"
Journey #2
"I wonder if the vegetation knows this. If the trees, bushes, or shrubs grow any different here than in the middle of the Rocky Mountains [...] are they aware that their growth is inhibited by anthropologic activity?"
Topic
“There very well may be senses that we cannot observe or understand that connect other living things to the world around them. Maybe the plants around me do know I’m there, just not in a way that I can ever understand”
Topic
“Are those ants even aware that humans exist, do they know that they are in a park?”
Topic
Topic
"There is a can crushed in the soil at some point along the path, a glaring aluminum flash in the ombre dirt [...] It is not a natural part of the ecosystem and will end up causing damage. But how would everything around this can react to it? Microbes and insects would have been delighted to discover this when it was first dropped- scouring the inner surface for sweet liquid"
Journey #3
Topic
"I can of course understand the relational connectivity I have with other Human Beings (animate humans), and I can even understand connecting with beings such as animals or plants (animate non-humans). However, I have run into trouble when trying to form relational connections with beings such as rocks, wind, sand, water, etc."
Topic
"Humans are of course still reliant on inanimate nonhuman beings for everything we need to survive, yet these beings are out of sight and taken for granted [...] we are obviously connected to inanimate non-humans, for all our survival”
Topic
“All life will work tirelessly to remember its memories. Humans, trees, mammals, fish, worms, bacteria, viruses, DNA, and organic compounds are all built from the memories of the past”
"without animate beings, there would be no inanimate beings; all life gives the lifeless an existence, a purpose, an objective reality"
Topic
Journey #4
“a cold Sunday morning had me removing unwanted snow from my car, and as I drove, I struggled for traction against the unsalted ice on my street”
“spotting pristine snowbanks [and that] The forest will only get more beautiful”
Topic
Topic
“Acting as an insulating blanket for animals and plants […] predators will track their next meal by reading slight markings on the shiny silver surface of the ground”
Topic
“Are wild plants important to the natural resilience of an ecosystem, or just irritating weeds needing to be removed from our seamless grass lawns? Are bears in our neighbourhood only there because they are being forced out of their natural habitat from anthropologic activity, or are they dangerous pests that will need to be killed if they charge a human?”
Topic
“When I remove myself from a centrist occupancy mindset, I shed a lot of my negativity in the process – after all, not everything is about me, I am simply a small part of a greater whole."
