School of Ignorance

Linsey McGoey (CA), Miriam Stoney (GB), Sonja Riegler (AT), Matthias Groß (DE)

Everything that defines us as human beings was achieved through the systematic acquisition of knowledge – that is the credo of the Western belief in progress.
Whether in logical calculations, the philosophy of science or the general structure of our school system: the fact that information and clear decision-making are the backbone of society is a paradigm that is rarely questioned. We question this paradigm in order to deal with the topics of ignorance, indecision and ambivalence.
