	Description:		Our guest this week on the podcast is London-based artist and researcher John Hartley. John is probably best known for turning an office (desk, computer and business suit!) into a sea kayak. We talk about a bunch of John’s projects, including the kayak, and the intersection of art and ecological thinking. While listening to the podcast I’d suggest taking a look at John’s work which you can see on his website ambivalency.net. During the show we discuss: John’s interest in peaks and declines Why art is uniquely placed to deal with the problems of climate change His “Contingency Research Platform” Kayak project Hydrohacks Zero Dollar Laptop Project William Blake’s Angel Oak The Peckham Experiment Building Jewellery The Goldcrest Standard Special thanks to Kate of the blog Wild Economies for tipping me off to John’s work.
