The Triopticon was developed for the following purposes: To bring together, observe and explore how different bodies of knowledge apply and interact in a particular field To create a safe space to communicate conflicting perspectives, linked to the aporetic turn. To deliver a richer alternative to a traditional conference setting experience. To work through conflicting beliefs. To provide novel opportunities for analysis and synthesis of areas of disagreement and/or conflict. To encourage a rich context which encourages new thinking and the exchange and combination of ideas To produce artefacts which can be used to inform further pieces of work.
