I See That I See What You Don’t See presents a layered, non-binary notion of darkness. Navigating through cosmic, automated, and seemingly invisible environments, this publication looks into what we do not generally get – or choose – to see, as well as the relation between the possibility of seeing and forms of oppression and emancipation.

Here, the exercise of seeing and revealing what generally remains concealed purposely avoids the metaphor of light as wisdom and knowledge. Rather, diverse contributions aim for an understanding of the contrasting effects of light access, deprivation, and overexposure on different bodies; the influence of radiation on human and non-human behaviours; the coexistence with the invisible yet pervasive architecture of the digital; the perception of instances of synchronicity with the cosmos; and the role of design in these realms.
