‘Microbial Ecologies’ presents a timely range of multidisciplinary practices, approaches, methodologies, and conceptions to help us see and value the microbial worlds that until recently have remained invisible. It is co-edited with Ken Rinaldo—an artist internationally recognized for interactive art installations developing hybrid ecologies with animals, algorithms, plants, and bacterial cultures. It is only by recognizing and engaging with microbial agencies that fuller networks of interconnectedness will enable us to tell the stories we truly need for our time and for the future.
