Kittler Picnic
4-6pm
The late theorist Fredrich Kittler wrote on machine determinism and its dominance over the way humans communicate and behave. If technology is not an extension of us, but we ? instead ? part of its autonomous evolution, what is the relationship between technology and society?
A group of artists and writers propose a picnic, a networked event that performs the distribution and digestion of knowledge. Circuits and systems of eating and communicating, recording and transcribing, are enacted in a public park. Thinking is translated into binary codes, appropriated, cooked and consumed.
Beth Collar / Annie Davey / Alastair Frazer / Charmian Griffin / Alice Hattrick / Stuart Middleton / Angharad Williams + more
To join the Kittler Picnic please meet at Cafe Gallery at 3pm.
