ANDNAND
Beyond Dichotomies
There are several ways to read the name of the studio: and nand (nand is not-and in terms of electronics logic gate); and n’ and; or simply a series of a‘s, n’s and d’s, perhaps like a string of alternative DNA. Plurality. ANDNAND in one word also signifies the place I intend to operate from - both and neither, in the in-between space, beyond dichotomies.
Stephanie Pau
Participatory Speculative Designer & ArtistIt's a working title, if it makes no sense, let's talk!
Stephanie Pau is the founder of ANDNAND. She researches non-extractive participatory design and futures thinking methodologies and facilitates people to collectively find visions beyond watered-down consensus, broadly related to health and ecology. She practices with tomato plants and waste materials to examine dominant constructs and explore signals of more-than-human care and repair.
Prior to that she was a solution architect and had founded a health tech start-up, which adds up to about 15 years of deep dive into patterns of machines and human systems and business ecosystems driven by different kinds of money and structure.
She holds a Master of Research (MRes) degree in Healthcare and Design from the Royal College of Art (2017-2019) and a Masters of Engineering (MEng) degree in Electronics and Electrical Engineering with Management from Imperial College London (2004, 1st Hons). She has published on methodologies of design-based futures thinking and collective imagination in academic journals/conferences and has been sharing her knowledge through visiting/associate lecturer roles at the Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins, UAL.
