How does our disproportionate experience of energy wars and energicide affect our techno-political urgencies and imaginaries, as well as, the electronic music we make, or won’t make? 

How does the militarisation and corporatisation of the academic institute influence the disciplinary organization of knowledge and space, the production of ignorance and the philosophy of intelligence? What modes of attestation and temporalities of resistance do these regimes of in/visibility create, or dislocate when death can be increasingly slow, eruptive or automated depending on where you are on this universally dark planet? In this lecture, artist, educatress and technologist Jessika Khazrik shares “خريطة الظلام Cartography of Darkness”, a transclusive research platform dedicated to exploring universalisms and the dark unity of knowledge in our highly obfuscated and multiple crisis-ridden age. Launched in August 2023 on the third year memorial of the Beirut Port Blast with the urgently ongoing chapter “For a Trans-electric Solidarity”, the online cognitive mapping platform is comprised of a triad of interconnected, sonified spaces: a map, a periodical and a repository. These virtual spaces, that are continuously reactivated through multi-generational assemblies, workshops on cognitive mapping/counter-cartography and orgaraves, bring together various contributions that resist the agnogenic practices of militarisation. How do we heal our imagination in a global system that institutes separation and disseminates a seemingly functional ignorance all while promising an artificial intelligence?

Daniela Huerta, Pía Baltazar, Sahar Homami in conversation with William Russell

After conceptually exploring the wilder territories of AI this talk invites members of the Wilding AI collective to situate their own artistic practice in relation to wildness and share concrete examples of the material and hands-on experimentation that went on during the four days of the Wilding AI Lab.
Multimedia artist, sound designer, and DJ Daniela Huerta (baby vulture) explores the pivotal role of storytelling in shaping our collective present reality and future trajectories. Audiovisual artist/programmer, calligrapher, and researcher Sahar Homami explores the boundaries of AI’s creative potential by incorporating themes of spiritual love and collective human experience. Intermedia composer, indisciplinary researcher, and directress of research-creation at the Society for Arts and Technology (SAT), Pía Baltazar explores how machine-learning can enhance creative techniques of intersensoriality and embodiment.
Moderated by William Russell, Co-Founder and Creative Director of MONOM—Berlin's center for spatial sound, the talk will highlight in particular how artistic practices inspired by the AI of wildness translate when working with 4DSOUND and spatial audio environments.

CTM 2025: Wilding AI 2 – Mythology, Love and Intersensoriality

This lecture discusses the 20th century philosopher and historian of ideas, Pierre Hadot, and focuses on chapter 11 of his book, Philosophy As a Way of Life. 

He discusses the distinction he draws between discourse about philosophy and philosophy itself. He argues, using the example of the Stoics, that the parts of philosophy they distinguish (ethics, logic, and physics) are discourses about philosophy rather than philosophy as such, which is a "unitary act" of living and being.

#35 Season 4 Episode 3

Gupta Navaratri Night Three: A poem from Ramprasad Sen

In this episode, we dive deep into Giaan Khand – the realm of divine knowledge as described by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Japji Sahib. Here, Guru Ji opens our eyes to the vastness of creation, pointing us towards the sheer wondrousness of the Divine. Instead of fixating on any single part of the creation, Guru Nanak Dev Ji gives us the path of “Vah” – awe and wonder.

Bhai Baljit Singh also summarises the 5 Khands in this episode.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Middle Platonist philosopher and biographer Plutarch's essay On Awareness Of Progress In Virtue

This episode focuses specifically on his discussions bearing upon something he takes as an important index for our development, namely the changes in our discourse. He looks a number of different aspects of this, one of which is the topics that we focus on talking about with others in philosophy.  He also thinks that we should avoid using philosophy for making a display in social gatherings, and that we need to curb contention, anger, arrogance, and exasperation.

strange game

Audioprimitives unveils an ambiguous post-industrial aesthetic through mechanical beats, fragmented voice samples, led by a Roland TB 303. The sound weaves threads of proto-electro, wave and acid, yet feels devoid of history, estranged—like a glitch in cultural memory. This is not a party; rather, it’s a reflex, a face-down dance in the fog, a discourse under the flicker of the strobe light.
