Over time, members of the Design Group have collaborated with different partners and groups, thereby advancing understanding of who the audience for the archive is. Stakeholders include:
Social science and health researchers studying Formosa Plastics in different settings, for example (Chang-Chuan Chan, Wen-Ling Tu, and Paul Jobin (Taiwan) and Mei-Fang Fan (Vietnam), but also the community of environmental just scholars at large.
Students in the course Environmental Injustice
Lawyers and plaintiffs involved in lawsuits against Formosa, for example Philipe Larochelle or the Taiwan Environmental Rights Foundation
Journalists, especially producers of the Taiwanese environmental TV show Our Island (episodes available with English subtitles)
This archive is just now coming into its own. That is, I have only just begun to take the archive as a question, rather than an assumption. It started as an iteration of the Quotidian Anthropocene, and still reflects a number of the design logics of that project. However, substantive changes have been made to the questions that have guided the collection and curation of the data it contains and that I am still in the process of depositing. As previously stated, I had tried to enroll my interlocutors into the archiving process, but I wasn’t able to draw their interest well enough. I am hopeful that the collections and essays I will be making in the near future will change that.
