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

Desk

Future Generations

The rules and norms we decide on today will impact future generations and other forms of life on earth. Can these “future others” be in the room when such decisions are made, in one way or another? How can we make the future present and allow the silenced to be heard? The Future Generations Desk uses art as decision-making to reorient modes of knowing and deliberating beyond the here-and-now. By broadening the scope of consideration for democratic discourse, creative bureaucratic practices have the potential to facilitate long-term thinking and better protect the wellbeing of life-to-come.
