Writing Type: Paper

Exhibition: SIGGRAPH 2019: Proliferating Possibilities: Speculative Futures in Art and Design
Abstract Summary:This paper identifies the nature of the circus as an ideal place to host a possible scientific-artistic-speculative symbiosis. In it, reality and fiction are found precariously, almost outsider, hardly exportable, halfway between the credible and the fake, amazement and extravagance, science and simulation.
