Designed through literal walks in different landscapes, with us, many is a multi-voice book that questions the ideological space of publishing and book forms by applying an ecological-speculative attitude. Among the different interventions, the project tackles issues of solidarity with non-human agents, the racialized nature of American exceptionalism, and the linguistic limits of copyright law. The story is peppered with a sparse smattering of cultural artifacts, including faux cliff dwellings, scientific research facilities, and tributes to iconic figures like Rosalind Krauss and Angela Davis.

Like the rocket’s red glare, a mysterious sensation burst onto the scene.

About the authors

This group of US-based artists, writers, researchers, and designers approach the book form as something that blossoms from the material properties of design labor in the expanded field; the solidarities, the misunderstanding, the technical-conceptual struggles, and the awkward silences that come with it.
