How we do it

We make systems legible. Then we make them felt.

This is investigative art: the practice's name for combining rigorous investigation with the tools of aesthetic experience, so what's found doesn't just get explained. It gets felt.

It combines investigation, research, storytelling, artistic form and sensory experience to reveal forces that usually remain invisible.

Unlike journalism, its primary goal is not information.

Unlike activism, its primary goal is not persuasion.

Unlike academia, its primary goal is not explanation.

Its goal is to create perceptual shifts: to help people see, think and feel differently.

The Lab

The Lab investigates the systems that shape human biology.

It traces questions through biology, food, technology, policy, economics, institutions and culture: to understand how systems produce biological conditions, and where the consequences enter the body.

The Studio

The Studio makes systems perceptible.

It translates investigations and questions into experiences, encounters and forms that let people see, feel and question systems that are normally difficult to perceive.
