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.
This Friday and Saturday at Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Free admission. I will be there.

FRACTAL table
The Fractal Table is a table developed by Platform Wertel Oberfell and Matthias Bär for Materialise.MGX. It’s based on fractal growth patterns - their studies on these patterns show treelike stems growing into smaller branches and getting increasingly dense at the top. Translating this fractal growth into furniture can only be done by way of rapid prototyping.

Textile futures: the living shoe and the strawberry plant that grows lace
“We tend to work in the year 2050,” says Carole Collet, who founded the Textile Futures course at Central Saint Martins 10 years ago. “But for some students, that’s not enough – they prefer to speculate up to 2080 and beyond.”

During the almost one year-long filming process of “Resistance”, Ali Kazma entered a great variety of spaces to record the processes that both construct and control the body, and explored the human being’s struggle to break the social, cultural, physical and genetic codes of the human body in order to render it perfect, as well as the processes that transform the body into the conveyor of new symbols and meanings.
