Criminal trials have traditionally favoured live, physically present, embodied human testimony. A paradigm shift is occurring with the increasing use of video technologies in criminal proceedings, hinting at a future immaterial, digitized posthuman courtroom. My PhD research at the University of Sydney explores the expanding use of video technologies and the associated disappearance of the human body from the criminal justice system.

FACING FORWARD
Art & Theory from a Future Perspective
Lecture series
December 2011–April 2012
Oude Lutherse Kerk
Spui 411 (corner Spui)
Amsterdam
This lecture series considers horizons of the unknown, the discourse of the future and asks "What does it mean to look forward, to speculate, to extrapolate? Is it possible to develop a vision of the future outside these well-worn paths of utopia and dystopia?"
A publication is forthcoming as well:
