The Elephant's Leg II documents 22 of FASTlab's projects through rich case studies — revealing how creativity operates as an R&D engine at the intersection of art, science, technology and community.
The title reflects a central insight: that in any complex system, there are parts you cannot see from where you're standing. The book is an invitation to walk around — to look at innovation from angles that conventional research rarely occupies.
It documents work across placemaking, digital health, community energy, education, and creative practice — each case study tracing the journey from question to field test to real-world impact.
