26. 10., 18.00 @ MGLC Švicarija, conversation
Looking to the future, which the writers of The Millennial Files seek to understand in terms of Internet cosmopolitanism, they consider past futures, over-identification with pop, current culture wars and new-old world ontologies. At a time when they have nothing to lose, without the technophobia that has long characterised the field of the humanities, they contemplate the open possibilities offered by the new technological revolution from the perspective of Ljubljana’s millennials.
“Human rationality is a disappointment, a distortion into chaos. We must seek succor in other forms of rationality, including that of the computer algorithm. And at the edge of any rationality, we already sense the pull of that which occupies its Outside. The archive you are about to read offers a number of testimonies to this time loop.” (Muanis Sinanović, Editor)
