Prometheus 2.0: Frankenstein Conquers the World!
By Marc Garrett - 03/06/14.
Marc Garrett writes about Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and looks at
science and technological determinism, and humanity’s bond with digital
media and social networks. It includes human-machine relations, cyborgs,
theories in cyber-culture, classical and SF literature and contemporary
art practices across the fields of media art, hacktivism, activism,
feminism and cyberpunk.
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is the focus for this text but it also
brings into the mix, Greek mythology and Prometheus - the Titan, and
what the myth symbolizes, asking, in what form does he exist in the
world today?
"It is a playful assemblage of unresolved contemplations that have been
sitting around asking for light in the back of my mind. This is a
stripped down version of the original study about mythology, technology,
fear and revolution."
