Forensic Architecture's Counter Investigations at ICA London Examines State Violence Through Digital Forensics

Running from March 7 to May 13, 2018, the 'Counter Investigations: Forensic Architecture' exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London highlights a decade's worth of projects by Forensic Architecture, under the direction of Eyal Weizman from Goldsmiths, University of London. This agency employs digital methods to probe human rights violations, utilizing sources such as satellite images and CCTV footage. Notable investigations include the 2006 assassination of Halit Yozgat in Kassel, Germany, and a 2012 drone attack in Miranshah, North Waziristan, which exposed U.S. involvement despite official claims. The exhibition presents extensive information walls and data visualizations, tackling topics from Gaza to the case of 43 missing Mexican students, while exploring art's impact on political activism.
