Closed Circuit System demystifies the laboratory beyond a mere scientific space, unveiling an 'emotional architecture'. Through intimate immersion with laboratory personnel and dialogues with artists, writers, and theorists, the research outcomes form a cosmology delving into the interstitial space between science and wider society, presenting nodes that offer viewers access to points of connection. The approach, driven by a desire to transcend representational limitations and incorporating the voices of individuals as collaborators, explores the dynamics of collective inquiry, limitations of knowing and the simultaneous fear and beauty associated with science, constructing a collective portrait of the laboratory's inhabitants that emerges from the edges.
