Various forms of control play a central role in our lives. Yet the nature of control is a difficult conundrum to probe. Art practices help us to make sense of questions and paradoxes related to the intertwining of control and non-control by putting it on display.
Various forms of control play a central role in our lives. However, the nature of control is a difficult conundrum to probe. Believing we "control" ourselves, nature or others may seem like a sign of autonomy, power and self-determination, but it is often an illusion and not always desirable. Art practices help us make sense of the questions and paradoxes related to the enhancing interplay between control and non-control by putting them on display. What happens if this interplay between the two poles collapses? What are the consequences for our forms of life?
