A discussion and screening of two of my projects with Bruno Latour at the Pompidou Centre, Paris on the 23rd of June. The session was titled 'The Theatre of Proof' and was part of a series of sessions 'Selon Bruno Latour' that included Donna Haraway and Olafur Eliasson. The series took up the themes of Eloquence and Demonstration to explore their role within art, science and politics and to re-assess the notion of political art.
