Research
The Institute convenes transdisciplinary research, supporting scientific approaches to dialogue with cultural and creative methods. Focusing on alternatives to extractive space futures, we explore ecology, policy, philosophy, and readiness, in response to the eco-social transformations of this century.
Research that explores long-term and large-scale patterns needs to grow from historical understandings; both the deep time of culture and media, and respect for the varieties of knowledge about the planet and stars that shape our current era. AEI is interested in the alternatives that emerging and speculative methods bring, from ecology, arts, technologies, governance, that may reveal plural ways onwards.
