10 Years of Technopolitics
Forecasting is an eminently cultural issue, because it provides an aesthetic of the uncertain and gives shape to the unknown, actualizing the future into the present, in order to make the unlikely more likely, or to prevent the likely from happening.
In talks, discussions, workshops and game playing, Deep Horizon: The Culture of Forecasting will bring together the audience with artists, researchers and activists to deal with the role of forecasting as a way of inventing the future. So, think and act ahead!
Participants: Richard Barbrook, Eric Bordeleau, Jaya Klara Brekke, Thomas Feuerstein, Isabell Schrickel, Zentrum für politische Schönheit and Technopolitics research group
Artistic space intervention: Sylvia Eckermann
