ALL WATCHED OVER: Utopian Desire and the Computational Imaginary

overview

Join CCAM and The Neu Lithium for a screening of Adam Curtis’s ALL WATCHED OVER BY MACHINES OF LOVING GRACE (2011), a gallivanting video essay about love, war, heroism, and computers, and the dream that we could run the world without politics.

Our panel samples the eclecticism of Chicago’s general intellect :

Seth Brodsky, musicology and psychoanalysis

Kristi McGuire, visual critical studies and its artistic and political outsides

Doug Rosman, critical and speculative computational media art
