Next event: A critical history of being online
When: 29/01, 18:00
Where: Lauschangriff, Rigaer str. 103, Berlin
We would like to introduce the term “online life” to include everything we do online from maps, scrolling, guidance, news, dating, communications, and more. We would like to explore equivalence though history and media, examining technologies of money, language, affect, nature and knowing. What historical conditions did the spontaneous imaginary of communities and collectives come under the control of centralized and exploitative powers? When did self and social bonds explode into ever expanding alienating assemblages?
We'll be summarizing excerpts from Grundrisse (Marx) and Symbolic Economies (Goux) - no pre-reading required!
