EP 15: REMOTE PORT (Benjamin Bratton)

Feat. theorist and philosopher BENJAMIN H. BRATTON, this episode
offers a high-gear, macroscopic mapping of Earth and its systems
circa 2019 — incl. how notions of “the artificial” and
“intelligence” differ across cultures; hemispheric zones of
citizenship and exclusion in the age of AR; and a view of human
consciousness as a geological phenomenon, a layer through which
Earth's planetary system is coming to know itself. Plus much, much
more. Bratton, whose work spans philosophy, art, design, and
computer science, is currently preparing (alongside 5 other books)
a much anticipated follow up to his 2016 volume The Stack: On
Software & Sovereignty. For more: http://www.bratton.info/
