Time as distance, as construct, as process, as matter, as memory. Time as apparatus, as dispositif, as assemblage. In the contemporary space - a space of acceleration and uncertainty - an ice core holding the Earth's archive turns into water drops vis-à-vis to the clicks and bits that an A.I. relentlessly stratify into corporative history. Systems of previously distinct categories collide into an ever-flowing complex dimension, frequently transversing organic and inorganic matters; whereas new media is desperately needed to escape such simultaneous complexity that both renders and imprisons Time inside the abyss of black-boxed fun. What material conditions of media could be enacted to render Time, again, as a space of possibility? In this semester we will explore a post-humanistic dimension of Time, by means of hands-on
experiments/prototyping through new media and active reading, writing and discussions on selected texts from Barad, Bergson, Braidotti, Han, among others.
 

Leistungsanforderungen: regelmäßige, aktive Teilnahme, Entwicklung von Prototypen/Experimenten.
