Experimentality is a year-long collaborative exploration of ideas and
practices of experimentation in science and technology, the arts,
commerce, politics, popular culture, everyday life, and the natural
world.  The programme brings together leading practitioners from various
fields; academics from the social and natural sciences, arts and
humanities; and members of the wider public.  It uses the notion of the
experiment to explore vital questions about the relationship between
knowledge and power, freedom and control in the modern world.  It is a
unique, open-ended conversation about the power of experimentation to
shape the future.
