Catastrophes and Promises is a book of fragments, taken from the plenary panel at 4S/EASST 2016 in Barcelona. The panel was called ‘Catastrophes and promises of science and technology by other means’ and featured presentations by Professors Isabelle Stengers, Dimitris Papadopoulos, Martin Savransky, and Lucy Suchman.
I captured the words as they were spoken at the panel. They became material residues. Then I pieced them together afterwards, not to make them whole, but to explore the gaps between them that were always there. I wanted to create other catastrophes and promises.
