Come and watch the experimental documentary film “Hyperstition“ (Omu) with us!

“A film on time and narrative. Of thoughts and images. On plants and the outside. Abduction and Recursion. Yoctoseconds and Platonia. Plots and anaerobic organisms. About the movement of thinking and philosophy in anthropology, art, design, economy, linguistics, mathematics, and politics. And back into abstraction.”

There will be a short critical introduction before and room for discussion after the screening.

Bring your own popcorn etc.

The screening is organised by the TBD reading group.

TBD (”To Be Defined”) is an interdisciplinary reading group on the intersections between Science and Technology Studies (STS), feminism, queer studies, posthumanism and new materialism. We are interested in engaging with works – both contemporary and otherwise – that deal with the relationships between technology, sexuality and culture. The group meets approximately once a month and is open to both “advanced readers” and “beginners”. The goal of it is not only to explore and discuss texts but also to present each other’s work and get feedback for work-in-progress. It is hosted by research group Gender/Diversity in Informatics Systems and department of the Sociology of diversity at the University of Kassel.
