Can a trickle reverse a stream? Can a loss mitigate a loss?

This public gathering traces the hidden currents within hydrological cycles, weather patterns, and financial systems. Hosted in response to the exhibition ‘Empty Set’ by Pratchaya Phinthong, the symposium opens a nebulous space to connect research, art, science, performance and other speculative practices in conversation together. 

Bringing together artists, weather-forecasters, scientists, and other thinkers from the region, the programme asks: what role do ideas of risk, deep-time perspectives and other speculative instruments play in relation to our understanding of ‘tipping points’? If societal stability is a delicate balance, what futures do its various relationships hold, and what erupts when its various cycles change or break?

Participants: Jaime Chu, Peter Clift, Dr Jimmy Jiao, Kwan Q Li, Lucy Siyao Liu, Gary Zhexi Zhang
