I.N.S.E.C.T.
The I.N.S.E.C.T. Summercamp, now in its second year, brings together global designers, architects, artists, biologists, entomologists, ecologists, and like-minded researchers to improve methodologies around multispecies co-creation and design. We call ourselves the I.N.S.E.C.T. Collective and we hope to make this annual event a critical locus for building and sharing new methodologies for a changing world.

We are particularly interested in interacting with and designing for insects and other, commonly-overlooked organisms. Last year we concentrated on prototyping a digitally-designed insect hotel in part 1. In part 2, we explored ways-of-being with insects through experimental methods such as meditation, perception walks, primal play, wearable props and more.

Intention
Intention
This year the event will take place at a scout camp and farm in Hvalsø, Denmark where we will explore deeper relationships with the local species of the Bidstrup forest. We will create species profiles and map cross-species symbioses. This relational map will be our basis for experimental explorations to build greater empathy with our companions through co-created activities designed by participants.
The camp is based on methods of co-creation, which means that this event is open for you to explore your interests, ideas, and questions, so we can investigate and manifest them together. Our co-creation ranges from setting the food menu, designing activities and focus groups on particular topics, to arranging the schedule for the day. To create a successful co-created experience, we are looking for participants who can enthusiastically contribute to planning before the event (from June onwards, online), contributing during the camp (July 10 - 18 in person), and reflecting upon the experience (from September, online).

Our goal is to create a community where we support one another, create continuing discussions and creative work by co-creating projects, events, research publications, artworks, etcetera.
