INTO THE UNKNOWN is open source on the Research Station’s website, where professionals and other interested parties can easily access examples of experimental work in words and practice. Each experiment is presented through interview, report and video footage to provide both an intellectual and sensory approach to the work.

If you go to the site you can see the last 2 new test examples. Or if you missed the first 10 presentations when we launched the site at our 10th birthday last season, you can enjoy them too:
