A Genealogy of Technology and Power, 1500-2025

If you haven't seen it already, @Katecrawford and #VladanJoler's latest work, #CalculatingEmpires, visualises the genealogy of technology and its intersection with power, capitalism and the proclivity of nation states for dominance.

At once a #dataviz of timelines, dependencies, power relations and scale, my over-arching question (in the style of #DanMcQuillan) is "how might we subvert or resist this history to create alternative futures?"

Calculating Empires

Calculating Empires is a new exhibition by Kate Crawford and Vladan Joler that opens at Fondazione Prada on November 23, 2023 at the Osservatorio in Milan. Joler and Crawford contextualize the current explosion of artificial intelligence by asking how we got here — and to consider where we might be going. Multiple works of critical cartography span the two floors, and invite visitors to experience the longue durée of how technology and power have been intertwined since 1500.

At this moment in the 21st century, we are witnessing a new form of extractivism well underway: one that reaches into the furthest corners of the biosphere and the deepest layers of man’s cognitive and affective being. – Vladan Joler New Extractivism was the theme of the twelfth edition of Tactics&Practice, a discursive, educational and […]
