About

Asymmetric Co-production //Restless encounters with nonhuman others

Beth Savage is an artist and researcher working with multispecies entanglements and notions of interconnectedness within the Anthropocene.

This site is a record of her research into collaboration across species lines, and acts as partial fulfilment of her practice-based PhD with Teesside University.

In tandem with the written thesis, Asymmetric Co-production: towards a methodology for multispecies collaboration, this portfolio of work addresses three areas of knowledge that underpin this practice based research:

Poiesis (making)

Documentation of the multispecies making practices engaged in during the course of the research.

Theoria (thinking)

Reflections on the process of working with nonhumans and the knowledge that this research revealed.

Praxis (acting)

Proposals for the application of knowledge gained, and areas of possible future study.

Asymmetric Co-production: Restless Encounters with Nonhuman Others is a portfolio website documenting the practice based research for my PhD.

Asymmetric Co-production: Towards a Methodology for Multispecies Collaboration is my thesis discussing the context, knowledge, and applications of this research.
