TOMORROW AT 19:00, SHOWROOM MAMA
A conversion between Darija Medic and Amy Suo Wu on connecting points throughout their thesis's, titled Navigating in the age of magical reproduction and Reclaiming uncertainty with para-rational methods, respectively.
Through historical and contemporary examples, the fantastical nature of the future and technology alike will be reflected on as spaces of possibilities that allow people to inject desires, fears and paranoias. The construction of reality is addressed through the performativity of code, the mechanism of self-fulling prophecy and the politics of knowledge legitimization. Further, meandering thoughts on technology and prediction as continuing practices of magic, as a means to control the natural world, will underpin the conversion.
