U30+ 2023 Season

The series delves into how technology initiates material processes that exceed our perceptual limits, generating fictions and anxieties at times akin to conspiratorial delirium. It traces the intersection of material processes and thought, honing in on moments where captured reality begins to unravel, becoming subtly unhinged and unruly. The season opens with a deep exploration of planetary layers, engaging with rich speculations surrounding terraforming and its existing, presumed or imagined infrastructures. It then shifts to the concept of the idle hand, probing the depths of cultural self-enclosure and the capture of form at the threshold of matter and mind. As we emerge from these solipsistic caverns, the focus transitions to technological mediations of social choreography – its movement, pragmatics, and the tacit transfer of knowledge – just before propelling us among the stars, concluding with an ex-planetary drama centred around a technological artefact fated to meet its untimely end.
