Office of Experiments realise projects that examine historical and contemporary forms that engage with political, social and aesthetic implications of alternative futures, spatial imaginaries and situated experimentation.
We research emergent discourse and boundary practices existing between the disciplines of contemporary art, design and architecture. We unearth remote sites of science and culturally concealed spaces of knowledge to develop critical interventions through these experimental practices.
