[resource-net] Rosemary Lee: Reading & Discussion Session on 10 June 2014

[Markus Huber]

Hi resourcers,


I would like to announce an upcoming workshop with our 
artist-in-residency, Rosemary Lee. As part of the Vilém Flusser 
Residency for Artistic Research Rosemary Lee will lead a reading and 
discussion related to her research at the archive. Her project, Molten 
Media, examines the cultural obsession with the creation and storage of 
codes as well as their paradoxical disposability.


MOLTEN MEDIA – Reading & Discussion with Rosemary Lee
Workshop in English; pre-registration required


Examining the materiality of devices, likening them to fossils, suggests 
taking a long-term view of media technology. Applying a deep-time 
perspective to a rapid-cycling throwaway media culture, projects an 
alternate timescale for its material existence. To think of these 
objects in such terms begs the question of their origins, where this 
material will go when it has finished serving its purpose, as well as 
questioning its relation to our natural history.
