What forms of futurity, speculation, and life do algorithmic intermediations produce? To explore this it seems expedient to focus on “smartness,” a term legitimating—as in the “smart home”—the increased introduction of computation in social life.

The Axiomatic Earth describes a condition in which calculation becomes a site of political struggle. Technologies of calculation do not simply present an improved perspective of the world, but a different world altogether.

How can we think beyond categorical distinctions between humans, culture, technology, and nature?

Thinking through the multispecies relationships that emerge from contaminated landscapes, postwar rubble, and garbage heaps that may be regarded as “feral technologies.”

How is the Technosphere governed? And how could it be governed otherwise? One way to tackle these issues is by looking at cybernetic finance—showing how a complex system can be overtaken by an excess of self-reference.

Is a different technosphere possible? Exploring this concept from the perpsective of the Aerocene: a nascent, collaborative, speculative vision of the future.

Tracing shadows—an examination of technological datasets and Romantic concepts in the study area of Berlin-Moabit.

With a critical eye to what aesthetics in/of/through the Anthropocene might mean, we will engage with ways that established forms of perceiving might be transformed in the broadest sense—toward new sensitivities of the long now, and the emergent technosphere that conditions our understanding of it.

In the course of its productive and consumptive functions, the technosphere transforms energy, materials, and information. It uses energy in part to transform information, while information guides the metabolism of energy.

Pluralization is a step towards a democracy of operative language allowing different markers of time, thought, tools, realities, scales, causalities, effects, and categories to coexist and participate in shaping global vocabularies.
