Past Event
Over the past ten years, James Bridle has emerged as an essential commentator on the challenges presented to society by new technologies, from Artificial Intelligence to surveillance. In this lecture, the artist and writer explores the production and control of time through computation, its effects on our daily lives, and the different ways we have to think it.
The Gerrard O’Carroll Memorial Lecture Series, inspired by the architect, writer, curator and Senior Tutor in the School of Architecture and Design at the Royal College of Art, London, invites kindred maverick thinkers from across disciplines to see beyond our assumptions and imagine what the world can be. Embracing love and joy, darkness and despair in equal measure, the series proposes experimental, subversive and at times anarchic approaches to human existence.
In collaboration with Adrian O’Carroll and Rosy Head, supported by Adrian and Jennifer O’Carroll.
