The Office of Rules and Norms (ORN) is an arts-based transdisciplinary collective that engages with regulations, the rule of law and cultural norms. These engagements reveal, analyze, play with, subvert, and transcend current ways of understanding and acting in relation to regulatory forces in order to make room for more equitable alternatives. In its attempts to query legal and behavioral urban infrastructures, the ORN specifically deploys art and design practice, culture, and methods along three axes:

Art as Subversion | Intervening in grey areas of regulation

Art as Pedagogy | Making public various forces and forms of influence

Art as Decision-Making | Reorienting modes of knowing and deliberating
