Dear all, Following the student discussion at the AHM 2013, I’ve started pulling together some information for new students. I’ve collected them on a wiki page (didn’t even know we had one), but the page needs input from everyone. Can you please check through it and add anything that is missing? There was also an […]

Steve and I hope to bring to our you guys our interest in the French contemporary philosopher Paul Virilio. For several decades, Virilio has been warning that the invention of every celebrated technology (such as air travel) brings with it a new kind of accident or disaster (the plane crash).

Steve and I visited Building 32 on the University of Southampton campus and interviewed Nick Jennings about the disaster management strand of ORCHID research. He was extremely hospitable and courteous and gave us a powerful insight into how the emergency services might respond to a disaster. Dronecams in the air, phonecams and CCTV on the […]

By means of recipes, illustrations, a web site, and tools, it guides practitioners through a variety of issues […]

See some […]
Steve and I are so pleased to be doing an artists’ residence with ORCHID. We see strong affinities between ORCHID research and our own interests. You guys are investigating the management of large-scale disasters, while we are interested in how narratives are pieced together from accidents as they unfold. You are experimenting with computer-driven drones […]
