LOCALHOST: ANTI-TECH Over a decade on, Lutz Dammbeck's documentary DAS NETZ (2003) still stands as a unique inquiry into the conflicting agendas that characterised the early development of the internet.
Part-travelogue, part-conspiracy thriller, the film reveals a prismatic tale that explores the core anxieties of the post-war information society, weaving together Cold War-era CIA psycho-warfare experiments, cybernetics, tech-utopianism, the 1960s counterculture and the unabomber. The screening will be followed by an open discussion about radical perspectives on anti-technology, the internet, and the control society. With thanks to Lutz Dammbeck, Goethe Institut Glasgow, and New Media Scotland. EVENT TIME/LOCATION 18.00-21.00, Thursday 24th September at Evolution House, 78 Westport, Edinburgh.
