With the 1/2/8 Research Forum 1/2/8, PACT has been bringing together researchers, artists, scientists and activists at the titular historical mining complex 1/2/8 since 2017. In a lively, transdisciplinary exchange, the focus is on exploring new models for connecting knowledge and action.
Under the title ›Spot on Governance‹, 1/2/8 focused in 2023 on examining the political and social conditions that shape our coexistence. Where do visible and invisible rules lead to an unequal distribution of power? Who has access to which resources? Who owns information, infrastructures, and data?
Together, the participants of 1/2/8 engaged in an intense work and research phase to analyze the current state of affairs and cultivate new visions. Guided by diverse forms of representation, self-organization, and collaboration, they invited others to rethink the future. Transforming the think tank into an inclusive space for discussion, 1/2/8 was framed by a public program featuring lectures, workshops, and artistic interventions.
