Event overview
A seminar series on problems beginning on 25th November 2015 from 4pm - 6.30pm with Goldsmiths’ own Professor Matt Fuller, Professor Dan Neyland and Dr Martin Savransky in conversation with Professor Marsha Rosengarten.
This seminar series draws from a working group established in 2014 that took on the provisional name of ‘The Problem Factory’ (Ruppert, Fuller, Gaver & Rosengarten) and involves members of this group as well as others from different disciplinary perspectives and with different practice commitments—theoretical and methodological—in public conversation about the nature of problems.
Bearing in mind concern within the field of Science and Technology Studies about how solutions are arrived at and may even be said to participate in how a problem is conceived in its framing and/or according to an accepted mode of evidence, the workshop style seminars will draw on process thinkers such as A.N. Whitehead, Isabelle Stengers and Giles Deleuze amongst others to address the somewhat different question of what is a problem and hence what might the experience of a problem prompt? What possibilities may be cultivated by attending to problems? How, if it all, might we understand problems as lures or provocations toward cultivating a future different to the present, a future that evades what is posed as the ‘intractable’ or ‘essence’ of a problem and in its expression forecloses on other possibles?
