Nomadic Detective Agency | Assemblage of Cosmic Artisans

Based in London, United Kingdom, the Nomadic Detective Agency is a rhizomatic collective of thinkers, investigators, and visionaries dedicated to envisioning possible futures for cultural production, consumption, and education. Operating as an 'Assemblage of Cosmic Artisans,' the agency positions itself beyond conventional boundaries, identifying as fictional detectives, philosophers, educational thinkers, and critical post-humanists. The Nomadic Detective Agency draws heavy inspiration from the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, particularly the concepts of multiplicities and assemblages found in 'A Thousand Plateaus.' Through experimental forms such as the 'unessay' and 'unseminars,' the Nomadic Detective Agency explores the concept of becoming wildly nomadic as a tool for rethinking Higher Education within institutions like the University of the Arts London. Their work aims to evoke joyful and just approaches to developing new educational practices, policies, and pedagogies. By emphasizing collective action and transformative possibilities, the agency seeks to build a more equitable educational landscape. The Nomadic Detective Agency functions as a creative device to navigate complex philosophical ideas, treating experimentation not just as a method but as the essence of learning itself. Their investigations into the 'Case of the University' and other radical assemblages demonstrate a continuous process of discovery and transformation, focusing on the abundant, shared wealth of knowledge rather than competition or scarcity.
