Proto-Centre for Radical Matter: Art. Philosophy. Wild Science. at the Royal College of Art, London, United Kingdom
The Proto-Centre for Radical Matter: Art. Philosophy. Wild Science. at the Royal College of Art, London, addresses the complex interplay between artificial/distributed intelligence, art-driven strategies and its interplay with a contemporary epistemological/ontological framework that draws together coding, new materialities, and policy. As an umbrella proto-centre, Radical Matter operates primarily within the School of Arts and Humanities (SoAH) but also across the entire College, drawing on, in particular, the School of Communications (digital design), the robotics lab, gaming, new architecture, and innovation mobility design. The Royal College of Art (RCA) is a public research university in London and the only entirely postgraduate art and design university in the United Kingdom. Website
Airwars, University of Goldsmiths, London, United Kingdom
Airwars is a not-for-profit transparency watchdog which tracks, assesses, archives and investigates civilian harm claims in conflict-affected nations, with a mission to reliably and independently document the human cost of war in order to promote a more peaceful world where human lives are acknowledged and taken into account by militaries, policy-makers and global citizens with dignity and empathy. Airwars has long intended to provide an alternative to official military narratives in conflict. The organisation was established in 2014 to counter dominant military assertions on the human cost of conflict during an era of ‘precision’ weapons and drone warfare. Airwars is based at the University of Goldsmiths, London. Website
