Contingent Agencies is an artistic research project initiated by Alex Arteaga and Nikolaus Gansterer. It is dedicated to the dynamic relationship between human and nonhuman forces as conditions for the emergence of atmospheres.

The cross-disciplinary investigation utilises practices of notating, reflecting, showing, and sharing that are employed in different media and within different theoretical contexts such as phenomenology, enactivism, and new materialism.

This book, which is supplemented by an extensive online archive, contains numerous research artefacts such as texts, drawings, photo series, diagrams, sound recordings, and video stills. It is intended as an invitation to a wider community to participate in this investigation.
