Full Programme:

https://culturetechnologypolitics.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/speeding-and-braking.pdf

Acceleration has been characterised as both reason & remedy for the challenges presented by an increasingly fraught global economy–by financial crises, ecological ruination, neo-colonial oppression & forced displacements of an unprecedented scale.

The contemporary political and cultural imagination is caught between conflicting velocities: the accelerationist affirmation of technological transformation on the one hand, & decelerative or restorative movements on the other.

The conference Speeding & Braking: Navigating Acceleration gathers critical responses to this conceptual deadlock that reach across & beyond such entrenched (op)positions.

Attendance to conference, exhibition & performances is free:
