A lecture by Mark Fisher on Nick Land, Jean Francois Lyotard and Anti-vitalism.

Mark Fisher - Anti - Vital

Inigo Wilkins explores the transdisciplinary nature of noise in his upcoming book, Irreversible Noise(Urbanomic). His work incorporates philosophical influences from Gilles Deleuze, Wilfred Sellars, Thomas Metzinger, Francois Laruelle, and Rene Thom, complemented by a focus on an array of fields such as complexity theory, cognitive science, and AI. His work also surveys the evolution of sonic noise within the 20th century to contemporary articulations of 'fugitive noise', conjured by hauntological encounters and diagrammatic gestures.

Inigo Wilkins is a writer and lecturer (CalArts, New School for Research and Practice) working across many disciplines (sonic culture, cognitive science, philosophy, and finance). He is co-director of the online journal Glass Bead, and has published articles in such journals as Litteraria Pragensia, Mute Magazine, and HFT Review.

Accelerationism is the name of a contemporary political heresy: the insistence that the only radical political response to capitalism is not to protest, disrupt, critique, or détourne it, but to accelerate and exacerbate its uprooting, alienating, decoding, abstractive tendencies.

In this lecture and discussion group, Robin Mackay will talk about orientation and futurity in the context of accelerationism, with particular references to Ray Brassier's essay Prometheanism and its Critics.

Robin Mackay is a philosopher and editor and publisher of Collapse Journal of Philosophical Research and Development. His work addresses contingency and hyper chaos. He has written about, interviewed, translated and published the key thinkers associated with speculative realism and non-philosophy.

The debut album from She The Throne. Presented in six uninterrupted movements, She The Throne is a profound mediation between noise and music, soundscape and soundtrack, and abrasion and sublimity, imbuing meaning in each absent from either alone.

How might the critical tradition in media studies respond to the wildly proliferating media phenomena of today? In this presentation, Ken Wark starts with his own experience writing Gamer Theory as a ‘networked book’, mediating between Plato, WordPress, and World of Warcraft. This was an experiment in which critical media approaches were made to confront the computer game as an historically specific form, the form perhaps of our times. It was also an attempt to create online tools for a specifically critical mode of collaborative writing, at some remove from the argumentative and consensus style of the blog and wiki respectively. A third dimension to the experiment explored the relation of the gift of writing, of time, of attention, to the commodified form of the book. What can be learned from the results of this experiment? How can media studies be both in and of the emergent media forms, and yet retain a creative and critical distance from them? It is in its difference from what it studies that media studies begins to find the intellectual resources to respond adequately to the extraordinary world of media, in all its historical and anthropological depth and breadth.

McKenzie Wark is chair of Culture & Media and associate dean of Eugene Lang College, and an associate professor of critical studies at the New School for Social Research. He is the author of A Hacker Manifesto (Harvard UP, 2004), Gamer Theory (Harvard UP, 2007) and various other things.
