Cybernetic Personhood

This coming tuesday (December 1st) our Literature & Law group will get together to continue our discussion of Cybernetic Personhood. We will read three texts that re-think notions of power & politics in the age of algorithms: "Fuck Off Google," a pamphlet by the radical collective The Invisible Committee; "Protocol: How Control Exists after Decentralization" by media theorist Alexander Galloway and Gilles Deleuze's prophetic short text "Postscript on Societies of Control."

As always, our meetings are open to students, scholars, soldiers, robots and farmers.

We will convene in Huizinga 27, 15:00-16:45
