our work

RESEARCH:
You play games called Sim City and Vice City. Your architects behave like rock stars and your music is called Urban. We accept this confusion of a mediated world without clear borders. Therefor we research 'crime and punishment' in first person shooter games, architecture in techno and the urbanism of video clips.

ARTICLES, LECTURES AND PUBLICATIONS:
We give lectures and write articles in which criminology, philosophy, architecture, urbanism and popular media form the basis of our knowledge. We edit and write for both printed and online magazines.

TEACHING:
We are actively involved in different universities to research and teach about criminology, philosophy, architecture and urbanism.

EVENTS:
We show our speculative thoughts by organising exhibitions, seminars and workshops.
