A pocket-size catalogue written and compiled by Giulia Colletti and myself on the occasion of the 5th Industrial Art Biennial (Croatia, 2025)

Here's a blurb:

What is the industry, when industrialization runs through data streams and convoluted decision-making processes? Where to look when there is apparently nothing to look at? When machines and sensors do the job of seeing and understanding instead of you? How can you orient yourself when you only get blurred shadows of what industrialisation is really setting in motion? How do you reclaim agency and redefine justice?
In this terrain crumbling beneath our feet, we are requested to imagine the unimaginable.
