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 & Artist
It'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.








Studio ANDNAND is a participatory speculative design and art practice by Stephanie Pau, who is working on non-extractive alternatives to the status quo of strategic foresight and futures imagined in a more-than-human world. Works are related to, but not limited to, health and ecology - because the lived worlds are made of systems and entanglements, not silos.



COLLECTIVE IMAGINATION
The concepts we think with matter,
the people we think with matter,
the tools we think with matter.

Non-extractive, inclusive convening through methods and tools of participatory speculative design, design games and probes. Sometimes, inside an installation.

 Facilitate collective futuring
    e.g. Futures thinking workshops
Collectively make sense of each others’ worlds and re-imagine differently - online, offline or in hybrid workshops and, maybe, systems change.

Produce discourse
    e.g. Sensory XD
A conference track and a catwalk show in a health innovation conference.

Example workshops  



WORLDING WITH NON-HUMANS
Who counts in a more-than-human world?

Centering waste materials and 
                       tomato plants 
in a rhizomic, 
  meandering, 
      more-than-human research and practices. 

Current lines of research through art: attuning with Tomato Plants; hearing plastics out; un-readymades.
 
Installation, printmaking
and durational performance
