Project - header: Pharmakos: Lost Knowledge is an ongoing body of research, seeking to understand closed knowledge frameworks. This is particularly evident within science and Western (bio)medicine and these knowledges are constructed and constituted, often creating considerable economic and political divides, through gaining an authoritative status. Thus, this practical inquiry seeks not only to interrogate these practices, but to further this understanding by exploring the viability of applying open source frameworks to closed knowledge systems and 'conventional' practices, to see what might emerge.
About the project: Pharmakos: Progressive stages of certainty? seeks to understand the viability of applying open source frameworks to closed knowledge systems, such as Western (bio)medicine, which are projected as a standard and often referred to as a set of 'conventional practices'.
