Symposium: Incidents and Agencies in the Anthropocene
More than ever, (artistic) research has become political. Rather than researching politics, one should politicise (artistic) research. This is exactly what the interdisciplinary research agency Forensic Architecture has been doing over the last decade, through their meticulous investigations of particular ‘incidents’. Their way of working has been a source of inspiration for a series of small enquiries into a wide and eclectic variety of incidents, past and present.
