Silent Pressures is part of the Otherwise Residency program, Marginal’s core platform for artistic research at the intersection of art, science, and public policy. It provides artists and researchers with the time, resources, and context to explore questions that exceed conventional disciplinary boundaries, allowing art to take an active stance towards contemporary environmental issues.
The second run of the art–science research residency, developed in collaboration with the Institute of Biology Bucharest of the Romanian Academy and 2Celsius, connects artists and specialists in scientific research, pollution monitoring and environmental policy, in three explorations of the ways in which we relate to otherness and the non-human across perceptual strata.
