State violence and counter-expertise
The challenges of (re)constructing facts in the age of digital mediation
Saturday, May 17th, 6 pm
Atelier-Assemblée at Triangle-Astérides, 2nd floor, Manufacture 2, Friche la Belle de Mai
Since 2020, the investigative NGO Index - the French offshoot of the Forensic Architecture research laboratory - has been conducting independent counter-investigations into cases of police violence in France. Bringing together a network of journalists, researchers, videographers, engineers, architects, or jurists, its areas of expertise include open-source investigation, audiovisual analysis and 3D digital reconstruction. For this presentation at Triangle-Astérides, Francesco Sebregondi, founder of Index, will develop the project’s independent counter-expertise approach through a commented presentation of various investigative extracts in video format. Focusing on the specific case of state-sponsored violence, the presentation will set out the challenges of (re)constructing facts in the age of digital mediation.
This presentation is produced by Index and is organized as part of the group exhibition Like Spring, I will be many
