We reflect about the role of creative and innovative design/fabrication technologies in processes of learning to become with the world and understanding our place as humanity within nature. In particular, we present part of the work of Aconcagua Fablab, a mobile design and digital fabrication laboratory. We situate it in relation to the Fablab movement, highlighting its focus in generating processes of ecological understanding, immersion and literacy, working in association with BioGeoArt, an action-research project inquiring about humanity-nature relationships in Chile. Unfolding this discussion, we present two workshops developed by Aconcagua Fablab with children and young people, focused in designing / fabricating artefacts and occasions for the exploration of more-than-human languages in territorial expressions and immersion in sensitive landscapes – one of them focused on biomimesis and filotaxis; the other one on soundscapes. In doing so, we discuss digital fabrication technologies from a convivial conceptualization, in relation to a more-than-human geographical understanding of nature, and concepts such as relational agency, intra-action, more-than-human languages and representation, and situated knowledge, arguing for the role that these technologies and arts in general can play, when used within creative and collaborative learning processes, in awakening ‘the curiosity about life on earth that we will need to limit the destruction we call Anthropocene and protect the Holocene entanglements that we need to survive’.

Aconcagua Fablab：通过设计和数字制造技术学习与世界接轨

我们反思创造性和创新设计/制造技术在学习与世界融为一体并理解我们作为人类在自然中的位置的过程中的作用。特别是，我们展示了移动设计和数字制造实验室 Aconcagua Fablab 的部分工作。我们将其与 Fablab 运动联系起来，突出其重点在于产生生态理解、沉浸和识字的过程，并与 BioGeoArt 合作，这是一个探究智利人类与自然关系的行动研究项目。展开这次讨论，我们展示了由 Aconcagua Fablab 为儿童和年轻人开发的两个研讨会，专注于设计/制造人工制品和场合，以探索在领土表达中超越人类的语言和沉浸在敏感的景观中——其中之一专注于仿生和丝线；另一个关于音景。在这样做的过程中，我们从欢乐的概念化讨论数字制造技术，与超越人类对自然的地理理解有关，以及诸如关系代理、行动内、超越人类的语言和表示等概念，以及知识，争论这些技术和艺术在创造性和协作学习过程中使用时可以发挥的作用，唤醒“我们需要限制我们称之为人类世的破坏并保护全新世纠缠的地球生命的好奇心我们需要生存”。
