The other day I paid a visit to the “Robotron – Code und Utopie” exhibition at the GfZK in Leipzig. It’s really a great show about technology, industry, politics, socialism, capitalism, and art. If you can, check it out (until February)

Last Thursday, at the @proqm.bsky.social bookshop, I attended Daniel Ross’s presentation of his translation of Bernard Stiegler’s The Immense Regression – What is Called Caring? Vol. 1 (K. Verlag). It was a wonderful presentation of a book that seems to be a pharmakon itself

I finally got a hard copy of this rare report – the state of telegraphy (and telex networks) in Chile by 1970. A key document to understand infrastructural undertakings that unfolded right after that

A tiny but perhaps hopeful break from all this war sh*t. Last weekend at the Miss Read festival in Berlin, I found a true gem: E. E. Kisch's /Karl Marx in Karlsbad/, published by the Finnish Rab-Rab Press. Let’s seek hope

This is Stafford Beer’s Cybernetic Model of Contemporary Capitalism (1973) – my redrawing of it.
If you want to learn more about it, I invite you to read chapter five of my dissertation, where I explain and discuss the model in detail:

If you’re into AI stuff, you really want to read this. It's just extraordinary.
Beyond the subtitle, as I think I heard Pasquinelli say here in Berlin, it’s an epistemological history of labor, algorithms, automation, and AI – which, as he shows, are deeply interlinked

I stumbled on this one in my local bookshop. Although I was able to check the contents only briefly, I can confirm that it has a lot of beautiful documentation. Unfortunately, it’s too expensive to buy now (50€), but I hope to get it soon

After all the bigotry and reactionary comments that some of the pro-Palestinian, anti-war, anti-genocide & anti-apartheid speeches at the #Berlinale triggered among so-called “centrists” and conservatives here in Germany, just this accurate reflection by Dr. Hage

I read this over the holidays. Although it’s fiction, it’s a must for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of technology. I read the Spanish version (Anagrama), but you can check out the original English version from McClelland & Stewart: The MANIAC by Benjamin Labatut

Once again, how important it is to go back to this small but great paragraph. The status quo of the West demands it
