The fire which destroyed the Moria refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesvos was at least the 247th outbreak to have occurred in and around the overcrowded camp since 2013. Six young asylum seekers who came to be known as the 'Moria 6' were accused of arson and jailed. FA and Forensis reconstructed the fire’s spread, casting significant doubt on the basis for those convictions.

The Russian strike on the Kyiv TV tower and the site of Babyn Yar on 1 March 2022 resulted in civilian casualties and urban destruction—but it also pierced through layers of historical strata, exposing a history of violence, genocide and negation that unfolded on the very same ground. This is the first installation in a new long-term collaboration with the Center for Spatial Technologies.

On 19 February 2020, nine people were murdered in a racist terror attack in Hanau, Germany. After the attack, the perpetrator went to his house, where he killed his mother, and himself. Police knew the perpetrator’s address early on but did not storm the house for almost five hours. We were asked by the victims’ families and the Initiative 19. Februar to examine how the police operation unfolded.

On 19 February 2020, in Hanau, Germany, a racist terror attack left nine people dead, six of them in or near the local Arena bar. There are reports that the bar’s emergency exit was routinely locked, and the victims of the attack didn’t run towards it for that reason. We examined whether, had they tried to do so, and it had been open, they could have survived the attack.

Synchronisation⤵

Synchronisation is the process of establishing the exact relationship between two or more pieces of audiovisual material—knowing when one piece of footage begins, relative to another.

Synchronising images or videos in space and time can be done using visual clues, such as the shape of bomb clouds or the movement of people. Pieces of video or audio can be synchronised using their sound profiles. Witness testimony can also be ‘synchronised’ to a video or audio recording if there is an important, distinct element, such as an explosion or a gunshot, that is either captured or described in both.

Synchronisation is necessary whenever we are working with multiple pieces of evidence, not all of which have accurate metadata. Once multiple pieces of evidence are reliably synchronised by reference to their contents, the accurate metadata of one piece ‘anchors’ the others in time and space.
