Abstract:
Panel: Through the Roadblocks: Technology and Orality
“We cannot process your information. Your information is corrupt and needs cleansing. Erase brain?” _Mark Amerika, OK TEXTS
At a time when terabytes of information are streaming in our homes orality and hearsay (virals/social networks) become all the more relevant in the development of ideas. Comparable to Lewis Caroll’s map (Sylvie and Bruno Concluded: The Man in the Moon, 1889), our media landscape is expanding towards uselessness. Through the Roadblocks examines both the traditional in socio-political terms and technological means by which ideas come into existence and are shared. Echoing the landscapes in Songlines the mediated space becomes synonymous with creation.
