Elsa - New Reactive Earth by Lina Persson

This is a snapshot of the Storyworld New Reactive Earth, from March 2024. This worldbuilding began in 2011 when a collaboration with Prof. Ronald Mallett evoked in me how his time travel theory could enable future generations to confront how the present depletes the Earth. This made the conflict tangible and resistance possible, prompting me to continue developing this concept through methods of CO2 limitations and collective sharing in collaborations and interventions. Experimentation with limiting bodily access to energy and resources helped embody the storyworld's speculative premises. Slowing down breath, heart rate, and metabolism achieved an altered state that attuned me further to the relations and how I am entangled in my environment. Through iterative interplay, this speculative 'introverse' and my everyday environments have shaped each other. With the included prompt cards I invite you to join this shaping, to extend this interplay to your own environment. This Storyworld is neither a utopia nor a dystopia but a transtopia—a place to go through in order to get beyond current realities, get a glimpse of what else could be.
