Detectorism is our made up practice of noticing with care and sensing in place. It involves zooming in, and zooming out, paying attention to patterns, connections, and small shifts. Detectorism invites us to share what we notice, and weave it together with what others are seeing too. Detectorism is grounded in a simple understanding: that learning, imagination, and action are not separate. Below are Lab Notes, reflections and stories which track the evolution of our detectorism practices.
