Location: Theresa Lang Community and Student Center, Arnhold Hall Time: 5:30-9:00 pm What needs to change in our understanding of reality for reality to change? The entanglement of cause and effect, affirmation and disavowal, and past and future is the premise of this collection of original essays and artwork on speculation. Transdisciplinary by design and concept, Speculation, Now gathers the voices of artists, architects, designers, economists, scientists, and scholars of otherness who reflect on the speculative moment in their fields. Theoretical premises and anecdotal accounts, artistic interventions and ethnographic fieldwork are brought together in a productive blurring of categories and frameworks. Original texts and visual contributions commissioned for the book literally "bend away" from known methodologies, initiating adjustments that are open-ended and, in traditional terms, unverifiable. Therein lies the subversive and critical potential of speculation. Further details here.
