The Going Live Online Conversation Series has taken place periodically throughout the Biennale and has been live-streamed online. In this third episode, curator Neyran Turan, along with the other members of the curatorial team Melis Uğurlu and Ian Erickson, discuss relationships between architecture and planetary imagination at this live conversation with Amelyn Ng and Ross Exo Adams. Amelyn Ng's essay titled "Information-rich Objects" was published in the Paperwork section on our website in February 2021. During this event, Amelyn talks about her recent work on reimagining new planetary inventories in the context of architectural materiality and media. Ross discusses architecture as a planetary praxis, which considers new vantage points through which we can talk about a planetary sensibility in the midst of our planetary breakdown.
