Forensic Architecture, "The Killing of Mark Duggan," 2011- Present

installation view, New Media Gallery Rendering

“Justice must always question itself, just as society can exist only by means of the work it does on itself and on its institutions.”

― Michel Foucault

International Artists and creative Social Justice + Design groups use eyewitness/first person accounts (or citizen reporting) and the ubiquitous power of technology to explore how we interpret and deconstruct evidence and form opinions about justice in a complex world.

Three installations present the power of common technologies in helping us gather and distribute evidence and influence opinion. From cell phone and CCTV security cameras, to cutting-edge architectural analysis and digital modelling techniques, the artists and social justice practitioners in this exhibition explore what it means to deconstruct and interpret information and ultimately make decisions that will influence human rights.
