Monthly Talk - Lorenzo Pezzani

Step behind the scenes and get a glimpse of the thinking motivating the digital world’s greatest artists, thinkers and doers. Researcher Lorenzo Pezzani is our speaker in June.

What really happens on our oceans?

Following our exhibition of Tobias Revell’s The Monopoly of Legitimate Use, which looks at migration, state and borders, researcher Lorenzo will talk on his ongoing project, Forensic Oceanography. This research project critically investigates the militarised border regime in the Mediterranean Sea, mapping the liquid geographies of maritime jurisdictions in order to document the violence perpetrated against migrants at sea. Among other cases, Forensic Oceanography maps the fluid cartographies between Libya and Italy to understand how more than 1500 persons could have perished at sea in the Spring of 2011.
