How can we deal with realities that either exceed or fall beneath our ability to see and interface with them?<br><br>The 14th edition of <a href="https://aksioma.org/tactics.practice" target="_blank">Tactics&Practice</a>, the discursive cultural programme focused on contemporary investigative art, society and new technologies, brings together artists, theorists and researchers in an ongoing exploration of the concept of scale, from nano to global and beyond.
The programme consists of an articulated series of artistic, discursive
and educational activities that will take place in Ljubljana between
March and May 2023.
