Discussion Session with 0xSalon

with Martina Cavalot and Wassim Z. Alsindi

27 Jan 24, 4.00–6.00 pm

Sensing the unseeable: how scientific discovery shapes who we are

How does science represent the world? And what does the sky teach us about ourselves? In this discursive group session, we will collectively probe the ways in which the scientific image – the world picture established by centuries of methodical and formalised discovery – shatters and recomposes the manifest image: how humankind conceives of itself. Looking at the history of our understanding of space, will enable us to take stock of the implications to knowledge carried over by the paradigms we choose to interpret reality.
