Media Matters: Friedrich Kittler and Technoculture
May 12th 2008
Friedrich Kittler has been hailed as the 'Derrida of the digital age' and his work is indispensable to anyone thinking about technoculture across the fields of art, design, technology and science.
For anyone interested in the complex interactions with the technologies that surround us this event is essential, while for those unfamiliar with Kittler it presents an opportunity to discover the work of the leading figure in the flourishing area of German media theory. Media Matters is a two-day series of events that comprises:
- A keynote lecture by Friedrich Kittler. (Friday 27 June 2008, 18.30–21.00)
- A symposium featuring leading thinkers in the fields of cultural theory, film and the arts. (Saturday 28 June 2008, 10.30–17.45)
- 'Gramophones, Films, Typewriters': audio, video and text works curated by Seth Kim-Cohen. ( Saturday 28 June 2008, 19.00–20.45)
