American philosopher Donna Haraway, author of “A Cyborg Manifesto,” has been named the recipient of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement by La Biennale di Venezia. She will receive the award at the inauguration of the Venice Architecture Biennale on May 10, 2025.

The selection of Donna Haraway was made by Carlo Ratti, who is curating the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia under the theme “Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective”; his choice was approved by the Board of Directors of La Biennale chaired by Pietrangelo Buttafuoco.

Haraway aligns closely with Ratti, a multi-hyphenate architect whose science-driven approach to solving global challenges echoes her visionary theories on technology and the human-nature relationship.

no tech yet has gotten to root of problem

legit freedom will only happen if it’s all of us.. and in order to be all of us.. has to be sans any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do

how we gather in a space is huge.. need to try spaces of permission where people have nothing to prove to facil curiosity over decision making.. because the finite set of choices of decision making is unmooring us.. keeping us from us..

ie: imagine if we listened to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & used that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)

the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
