The Otolith Group is an award-winning artist led collective founded by Anjalika Sagar and Kodwo Eshun in 2002. Their moving image, audio works, performances and installations are characterized by an engagement with cosmogonic aesthetics that evoke the interscalar imagination of differentiated planetarity. Their works explores science fictions of the present that entail the work of temporal anomalisation, anthropic inversion and synthetic alienation.
