Diagram Research Group Delta (Δ) Research Placement at Flat Time House

Between 16 October and 12 November the Diagram Research Group (David Burrows, John Cussans, Dean Kenning and Mary Yacoob) undertook an online residency as the first of the Delta (Δ) Research Placement at Flat Time House, London. Over the period they conducted four illustrated discussions online that explore their interests in diagrams in relation to Flat Time and Latham’s ideas concerning the unification of scientific and artistic bodies of knowledge and the primacy of time and event (rather than space and matter).

Each session was led by one member of the group who initiated conversations engendering dialogical association and abductive reasoning, whereby images were discussed and hypothesis presented. Each session was accompanied by a picture wall of images and diagrams referenced in the discussions and a portfolio of diagrams generated by DRG in response to them.
