Specology. Zu einer ästhetischen Forschung

„Speculation“ recently entered the field of aesthetic practice as a productive concept, triggering new forms of artistic, provocative, and experimental creation as well as aesthetic research. Turning towards the speculative generates new approaches to productively daring, hybrid and collective artistic and design research practices. Charting and channeling this development is the work of…Specology.

With Specology as a new aesthetic field, we enter a scene that is as imaginary as it is generative, in which cognitive and formative practices and methods (“Gehweisen”/“Ways of working”), forms of insight (“Anordnungen”/“Arrangements”), as well as media and materials (“Dinggefügen”/“Thing-Kings”), chronopolitical dimensions of research (“Ancient Futures”) and attitudes of mind (“Magical Expertise”) connect and intermingle.
