OUTCAST REGISTRATION projects are contextualised on a regular basis using visual media and discursive formats. Empirically gathered data is presented in diagrams, for example, and the progress and findings of the project currently running are discussed and appraised at the Expert Meetings with representatives from a variety of fields of expertise and practice.
Expert Meetings
Interdisciplinary collaboration is the prerequisite for the artistic and scholarly approach of the OUTCAST REGISTRATION. In order to engage on a continuous basis with the approach implemented and the preliminary results of collaborating with the women addicts in prison, with the institutions involved, and with the public in the context of the Speech Activities, representatives of different disciplines and fields of practice are brought together in (partly) public Expert Meetings to discuss critically the individual stages of the project. Additional exchanges take place in internal meetings, at which the content discussed at the Expert Meetings is theoretically enhanced and expanded. This regular combination of different competences from politics and administration, art and culture, scholarship and technology helps to clarify various problems during the project implementation as well as to classify the experiences and findings in order to promote the knowledge circulating in the OUTCAST REGISTRATION as well as to ensure the effectiveness of artistic interventions in sociopolitical issues.

Diagrams
Diagrams and charts are used to visualise the life trajectories of the individual project participants. Recurring characteristics are elaborated and placed in their social context. Patterns and consequences of specific conditions are revealed and made visible. Here the sources are criminal records, dossiers, and memory transcripts of countless conversations — in person, by telephone, and in letters — with the participants of all prison projects since 1997.
This comprehensive document includes a comparison of the offences committed by Sabrina Hager with the offences she suffered; a comparison of the related measures; her criminal record; and a visualisation of the length of her prison sentences.
This diagram presents Ivana Landmann's criminal record, convictions, applied laws for the offences committed, possible court orders, and the respective length of imprisonment.
Based on Ivana Landmann's information and her official criminal record, this diagram provides a chronological breakdown of the offences she committed (offences I) and the offences she suffered (offences II). This is accompanied by a visualisation of both the length of her imprisonment as well as the periods in which she lives free of punishment.
This diagram visualises both the crimes suffered and committed by Esma Bronkovič, as well as their consequences ( in chronological order). In addition, the perpetrators, the respective sentences and the laws applied are listed.
This diagram compares Esma Bronkovičs‘ committed crimes against the crimes she experienced being committed against her. The chronological timeline in the centre enables a direct quantitative comparison of the crimes suffered in her childhood and early adulthood versus the crimes committed by her.
This diagram shows Rebecca Mertens’ offences and their social consequences in chronological order giving the dates and her age. The diagram includes a list of the penalties and the laws used to sentence her.
This diagram shows the crimes perpetrated against Rebecca Mertens and the social consequences for the perpetrators. In addition, the diagram lists the laws that could have been applied and the penalties and/or prison sentences that would have been incurred.
This diagram relates significant events from Rebecca Merten's life to the relevant attachment figures, in chronological order.
Rebecca Mertens’ places of residence are related to her different attachment figures and her age and/or the dates. This diagram depicts the level of autonomy in the life of a drug addict.
In this diagram, Rebecca Mertens' movements between places of residence are made visible in chronological order, taking into account different categories of space (private, isolated, cultural, and public).
