This paper explores dust as a living, nonhuman archive that resists containment within traditional archival systems. Through the practice of un-cleaning, we engage with microbial temporalities via dust collection, culturing, immersive sound, and virtual reality. Set in the Royal College of Art’s Kensington Library, the project unfolds as an embodied VR experience–a speculative journey through the temporal rhythms of dust. Sound operates as a temporal contaminant: ambient, layered, and distorted, it amplifies microbial patterns beyond human perception. Dust emerges as a parallel archive–ambient, persistent, and speculative–inviting participants to drift through more-than-human temporalities and imagine alternative modes of sensing, memory, and design.
