Risk is a show about vulnerability and possibility.
“In one respect, risk concerns precisely what we do not know and cannot properly predict. Often, especially at the level of collective risk, it concerns the intricate mechanics of complex systems whose precise workings will never yield to even our best models. But risk also implies knowledge: a recognition of what might come – perhaps even a glimpse of how likely it is – as opposed to a comprehensive obliviousness.”
– Anna Hartford
“Risk is something carefully calculated, quantified and calibrated; very carefully, since unimaginable amounts of money follow, and are premised on, risk and its rewards. Yet risk is also something obscurely felt, imperfectly guessed at, roughly estimated via the sensory equipment of an individual human body now toggling constantly between the actual and digital.”
– Hedley Twidle
