The Regenerative Design and Craft Lab promotes research approaches that are regionally situated and ecologically aware and that combine traditional craftsmanship with future-oriented design.

This project critically engaging with machine listening systems to ask to what does Leviathan’s Ear, drawn from Hobbes's Leviathan, allow us to listen? The voice is a personal and changing entity. Human listening to it involves processing many contextual signals, such as register, speech, or spatial position, as well as encoded semantic information. Speech to text processes transform the vocal signal features into text that elide contextual noise. Both Android and Apple offer voice as a user interface to their mobile operating systems. In response, the project will identify critical skills to support understanding of the underlying processes, such as listening, but also how to work with them.

From the navigation apps on our phones to the climate data that informs national policies and helps monitor protected species, our world is increasingly shaped by the eyes watching us from above. Environmental monitoring satellites are at the heart of what is becoming a ‘Smart Earth’: a planet observed, managed and experienced through smart technologies. But as these technologies create new forms of distance and proximity, how do they transform our capacities to understand, become aware of, engage with and intervene in the environments in which we live?

This project maps and analyses the provision of digital research competencies (DRP) across higher education institutions, producing a publicly accessible repository to inform decision-making around teaching and curriculum design in a rapidly evolving landscape shaped by AI adoption.
