Space Between

Space Between #9 Lucy McRae and Jordan Whitewood-Neal on Intimacy and Technology

In our ninth episode—and the first of Season 02—we explore the space between Lucy McRae and Jordan Whitewood-Neal, where vulnerability and abundance emerge as critical lenses for understanding how bodies, technologies, and imaginaries are co-produced. The conversation probes the ethical, affective, and political dimensions of futures shaped by design, biotechnology, and digital systems, asking what it means to design with care, interdependence, and excess rather than control and optimization.
