risk @ssessment presented a sceptical and

playful reaction against the preponderant hegemony of blame and accountability that has flooded unchecked across geographic and political boundaries in the West. It questions the punitive emphasis on third party accountability and blame as provable entity, rather than its truer position as a floating, malleable locus.  It embraces the stretchable, and subjective beauty of risk against the given concrete absolute of the foregone. It champions ambiguity and the blind maybe over the predictable.
