Haunted Machines war eine großartige Minikonferenz innerhalb der FutureEverything-Konferenz in Manchester im Februar. Nun sind die Videos der Vorträge da.
A mini-conference inside FutureEverything 2015, hosted and guest curated by artist and designer Tobias Revell, and FutureEverything’s Natalie Kane, Haunted Machines reflected on the narratives of magic and hauntings pervading our relationship with technology and began to analyse why these narratives exist, what they mean and what they do.
Meine Favoriten
Die Vorträge, die mich am meisten angesprochen haben.
Haunted Machines: Ingrid Burrington from FutureEverything on Vimeo.
Artist and writer Ingrid Burrington looked at where we can reclaim the narratives of magic from those uses that relinquish our power over the technology we use. How do institutions of power invoke magic to deny their accountability for their actions, and how can we keep magic as something hopeful?

Haunted Machines: Eleanor Saitta from FutureEverything on Vimeo.
Hacker, designer and artist Eleanor Saitta looks at the role of power and intent in innovation and design, and where the lore associated to chaos magick can help us interpret it. Finding where these analogies enable us to understand where exclusion lies, Eleanor shows us how this summons incomplete versions of the world we inhabit.

Haunted Machines: Warren Ellis from FutureEverything on Vimeo.
Writer Warren Ellis explores the point in history at which science and magic split, and where this relationship remains in the devices we evoke from the ether. Where have the narratives of magic been realised and replicated in our contemporary incarnations of technology, and where have our strive for innovation created the condition for witchcraft.

In the second session of the day, writer Chardine Taylor-Stone looks at afrofuturist narratives of technology and science fiction culture, and where it is placed in black political resistance, liberation and activism.
