Our entanglement with the more-than-human deepens as we iteratively explore co-curation with the River D\u00f4n<\/a>. In a partnership between Sheffield Hallam University and The River D\u00f4n Project<\/a>, Amy Carter Gordon presents a series of premieres from artist-researchers and partners to exhibit a data-driven public art installation in the river, a slow radio experience, experimental images, visual essaying, a live water quality lab and an interactive interface. Together, through exchanges in knowledge, research and innovation we <\/span>f\u00e6thm <\/i><\/b>the unquantifiable depths of the D\u00f4n with the rights of nature as our praxis. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

f\u00e6thm: (Old English) \u2018something which embraces\u2019, \u2018outstretched arms\u2019. A unit of length to measure the depth of water. To understand after much thought.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
