Entanglements – Visualising and Narrating Complex Systems

This course investigates interconnections between human and non-human actors, futures and pasts, technologies, capital, politics, and the environment. We develop non-linear narrative forms to communicate these complex interdependencies and work experimentally with data, images, film, and sound.
