About

×
The Office of Rules and Norms (ORN) is an arts-based transdisciplinary collective that engages with regulations, the rule of law and cultural norms. These engagements reveal, comprehend, play with, subvert, and transcend current ways of understanding and acting in relation to regulatory forces in order to make room for more equitable alternatives. In its attempts to query legal and behavioral urban infrastructures, the ORN specifically deploys art and design practice, culture, and methods along three axes:
Art as Subversion | Intervening in grey areas of regulation
Art as Pedagogy | Making public various forces and forms of influence
Art as Decision-Making | Reorienting modes of knowing and deliberating

Anti-Speculation

The [Anti]Speculation Desk engages with a major urgency of our times: real estate speculation and the housing crisis. The underlying intersecting systems that produce real estate speculation form a wider assemblage responsible for the painful experiences of displacement, eviction, precariousness and homelessness. While the effects of these systems are felt in ways that are all too real, their inner logic remains an enigma to most.
