The third Digital Naturalism Conference ran at DreamSpace Academy for the whole of July 2022: a self-funded, self-organised, site-specific gathering of field biologists, designers, artists and technologists exploring ways of interacting with the natural environment. It is held in a different country each year, and in 2022 the country was Sri Lanka.
It is the largest single thing in this record. More than fifty international participants lived and worked here for a month, volunteers were chosen on the first day and organised into teams, workshops ran continuously, and the closing celebration on 30 July was attended by the Government Agent and the Divisional Secretary alongside the delegates.
Delegates and the team here decorated and arranged the workspaces together, built a bamboo boat for floating meditation on the lagoon, and made an interlocking mural for the entrance of the Hive. Several strands from that month have their own entries below.
