<nettime> The Whole Earth -- Conference (Berlin, HKW 21/22 June 2013) |
Folks: If this was mentioned on nettime (considering that it was once the primary topic of this list), I missed it -- did anyone from this "collective" attend and do they wish to offer a report? http://hkw.de/en/programm/2013/the_whole_earth/veranstaltungen_83124/veranst altungsdetail_90739.php >From eco-psychedelia to Internet neoliberalism: The CONFERENCE will revolve around questions of the legacy of the California counterculture. How did some of its concepts become global principles of new capitalistic ???frontiers??? ? Roundtable discussions will explore the historical sources of, and connections between, discursive and political issues such as the ecological movement, cybernetics, anti-conformist cultures, new artistic practices that dissolve boundaries, and the transformations in these areas right up to the globalist network capitalism of the 1990s. Thus, the conference investigates the background conditions of the discourses that today, in the framework of the Anthropocene, are being negotiated, updated, or ??? in some cases ??? forgotten.
