MAT SEMINAR SERIES: DIALOGUES WITH MACHINES
MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2021, 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM (PDT)

Presented by Media Arts and Technology.

Dutch experimental artist and abstract filmmaker Joost Rekveld will speak about his long-running research project that began with an ancient question: how can we learn something we don't already know? Rekveld has been exploring how new things can be learned in interaction with devices outside of us. By focusing on the agency of technological artefacts, in speculation and creation, he reflects on technology as something other than a tool to subjugate our planet and ourselves.

In his presentation, Rekveld will talk about his recent work with analog computers and discuss the roots of still embryonic plans involving evolvable hardware.

This virtual event will take place on Zoom.
