Description: Orgs: From Slime Mold to Silicon Valley and Beyond' is an experimental survey of decentralised organisms and organisations. It expands upon work that artist Jenna Sutela has been producing over the past couple of years, layering organisational and spiritual charts, or mazes, and the navigational intelligence of Physarum polycephalum, the single-celled yet ?many-headed? slime mold. The publication features contributions by Dennis Bray, Aslak Aamot Kjærulff, Chus Martínez, Mike Pepi, Venkatesh Rao, Elvia Wilk, and more. An excerpt of 'Neko-Gusu', a manga by Shigeru Mizuki is published for the first time in English.
