The Exhibition as a Site for the Generation and Circulation of Knowledge

Through an Examination of the Practice of the 'Design Alternative Realities'

Abstract

In this thesis, I will position the exhibition 'Design Alternative Realities' within the context of the aforementioned Art Based Research, multimodal cultural anthropology, Research through Design, etc., and examine the methodology used in this exhibition to clarify its characteristics. Additionally, at the Maebashi Film Festival held on January 14, 2024, a video work based on the records of this exhibition was presented. I will consider this video work itself as a new methodology for archives and elucidate its characteristics as a methodology for archives.
