*Tactics&Practice [podcast]: Scale*https://aksioma.org/podcast
August-September 2023

*Tactics&Practice [podcast]* is an audio extension of Aksioma’s discursive
programme of the same name, focused on investigative art, society and new
technologies.

Each year Tactics&Practice <https://aksioma.org/tactics.practice> takes on
a specific theme. The 14th edition, held in Ljubljana in the spring of
2023, was devoted to the theme of scale. Journalist and researcher *Neja
Berger* followed the entire programme and interviewed some of its
protagonists for the podcast channel's first miniseries.

Most of the phenomena that affect the social world and underlie the ways in
which social powers – economic, political, ideological and military –
establish and act take place in realms that are much larger or smaller than
the human scale. In this podcast series artists, anthropologists and
academic researchers engage in a dialogue about their latest projects in
order to make us think outside the human scale. Listeners will be
acquainted with intelligent materials, demonic energy infrastructures,
local informal networks of data distribution and autonomous weapon systems,
and will thereby discover that new paradigms and scales are needed to
better understand – and possibly subvert – the world we live in.
