Film Screening: Collective Practices for Uncertainty (World Premiere)

Come along to a screening of ‘Collective Practices for Uncertainty’ a micro-documentary to share what happens when you put artists, experimental composers, and particle physicists together.  

This unlikely three-day encounter, led and designed by Rebecca Collins, took place in July 2022 and sought to foster intellectual companionship, share performative tactics, and uncover the potential poetics and emotional forces found in the tiniest (and invisible) components of our Universe.  

Interviews and live footage give insight into how participants (many from the IFT) investigated, via somatic and sensorial means, the mathematical, philosophical, ontological, and epistemological implications of the unknown. 

The micro-documentary forms part of a larger research project, ‘Parametres for Understanding Uncertainty: Creative Practice and Sonic Detection as Strategies for Scientific Outreach’ awarded to Rebecca Collins by the Royal Society of Edinburgh, hosted by the Institute of Theoretical Physics UAM-CSIC (2022-2023).
