a workshop for the Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture, and Design
Moscow, Russia
13-16 February 2017
The workshop charts the histories, graph nodes and vertices, layers and currents from the Zone to the Stack and back. Drawing an arch from Thomas Pynchon's seminal 1973 novel Gravity's Rainbow to Benjamin Bratton's The Stack, we investigate a variety of topics from media history, artificial intelligence, techno-ecology and philosophy to Deep Learning and Deep State operations; from the world's first intelligence service (the Jesuits) to its last (Erik Prince's Frontier Services Group); from anonymous and autonomous warfare, and from the V2 rocket to the Mirai botnet.
