Cultivated Wildness: Technodiversity and Wildness in Machines

This paper investigates the idea of cultivated wildness at intersection landscape design and artificial intelligence. The posits that contemporary practices should overcome potentially single understanding on wilderness, instead explore strategies to cultivate new forms wild places via ideas concerns in Environmental Humanities, Science Technology Studies, Ecological Sciences, Landscape Architecture. Drawing cases environmental engineering, computer science, architecture research, this explores a framework construct with intelligent machines. In framework, machines are not understood as layer "digital infrastructure" is used extend localized human intelligence agency. Rather conceptualized active agents who can participate co-production. Recent developments cybernetic technologies such sensing networks, intelligence, cyberphysical systems also contribute establishing framework. At heart "technodiversity," parallel biodiversity, since singular vision technological development driven by optimization efficiency reinforces monocultural approach eliminates other possible relationships environment. Thus, about recognizing "wildness"
