Has published an article on the Roosevelt island tubes, which seem to never cease to amaze. The tubes are painted as noiseless, odorlous invisible labourers sucking garbage at speed, underneath the neighbourhood streets. The collection of house plants, salvaged from the garbage, carefully placed outside the control room. Image my own, from my Stockholm fieldwork of the garbage tubes.

Sunday, June 7, 2015. I am in luck when we arrive at the GlashusEtt. In the Hammarby Sjöstad area of Stockholm, for a group of Italian civil environmental engineering students are being toured around the district and I can join in. The GlashusEtt is funded by the Stockholm water board, testament to the redevelopment of the once industrial area. Saying goodbye to David from Envac. Who has been guiding me around Stockholm’s vacuum waste systems. Our Hammarby Sjöstad tour ends in another processing site, fi...

Saturday, November 8, 2014. Can the use of pneumatic tubes to transport lab samples of a deadly virus lead to wider contamination? This is the fear of some hospital staff where an Ebola patient has been treated recently in Maryland, U.S. Part of Somatosphere's intelligent coverage of the disastrous epidemic, Ebola Fieldnotes. Image of biohazard bags for pneumatic tube system, my own. Tuesday, November 4, 2014. From the point of view of a capsule. Article on the topic. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Everyday...

pneumatic post: January 2015
http://pneumaticpost.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 22, 2015. Sometimes Christmas cards come a little late in the mail. Maybe the cards were left on the coffee table in the rush to fill stockings. Or maybe they got held up as postal systems struggled against the tides of envelopes filled with glitter and Amazon packages being urgently delivered. This is a piece of Christmas mail that was never sent, waiting in my drafts folder for Christmas week but lost in the rush. But, like all mail, better late than never! Thursday, January 8, 2015.
