Center for Social Fermentation is the studio of Byungseo Yoo, a Korean-born visual artist based in Geneva.

The center does few things.

  1. It runs scientific and speculative research — and treats the research itself as something to be performed, with others.
  2. It produces work: exhibitions, programs, situations.
  3. It publishes what it learns.
  4. It builds tools — mostly qualitative — to figure out whether any of it worked.
  5. It gets lost. Most of the time.
