Book launch and reception
Transdisciplinary by design and concept, Speculation, Now gathers the voices of artists, architects, designers, economists, scientists, and scholars of otherness who reflect on the speculative moment in their fields. Theoretical premises and anecdotal accounts, artistic interventions and ethnographic fieldwork are brought together in a productive blurring of categories and frameworks. Original texts and visual contributions commissioned for the book literally 'bend away' from known methodologies, initiating adjustments that are open-ended and, in traditional terms, unverifiable. Therein lies the subversive and critical potential of speculation. Edited by Vyjayanthi Venuturupalli Rao, with Prem Krishnamurthy and Carin Kuoni, Duke University Press. Book launch and reception: Wednesday, February 18, 2015, 6:30-8pm.
