Coding Care: Towards a Technology for Nature brings together contributions from renowned authors and artists who are particularly concerned with nature and our environment. In doing so, they raise the question of how we can use technology to better understand nature and shape coexistence in a sustainable way - especially in regions that are not yet fully technologized. In this sense, coding should be understood as a form of caring, a substitute for what technology can contribute to the future in each specific cultural and regional context.

Kristina Buch has developed an internationally recognized, poetic body of work over almost two decades, spanning sculpture, installation, ephemeral “life gestures,” wooden intarsia, woven works, drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, video, and writing. Trained in biology and fine art, and having also studied theology, she graduated as Meisterschülerin under Rosemarie Trockel at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Her practice unfolds in the in-betweenness where disciplines, species, and worldviews meet. From large-scale installations to intimate gestures and hybrids, her art reconfigures horizons of attention and imagination. This volume offers the first overview, with texts by Chus Martínez, Aimee Walleston, Ben Quash, a conversation with Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, and writings by the artist.
