Abstract<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The central proposal of this article is that\u00a0environing technologies<\/i>\u00a0shape and structure the way in which nature becomes environment, and as such used, perceived and understood. The argument builds on the understanding that\u00a0environment<\/i>\u00a0is the result of human intervention.\u00a0Technology<\/i>\u00a0is here understood broadly as a terraforming practise, materially and conceptually. We suggest that the compound environing technologies enable us to see environmental change on multiple scales and in new registers. That technologies alter the physical world is not new; our contribution focuses on the conceptual, epistemological, economic and emotional appreciation of systems and aggregates of technologies that is part and parcel of material change. The environing technologies that enable such articulation and comprehension hold potential in the future transformation that our societies need to undergo to overcome the crisis of environment and climate.<\/p>\n
