Workshop in English; pre-registration required

2014 Vilém Flusser Residency for Artistic Research Artist in Residence
Rosemary Lee will lead a reading and discussion related to her research
at the archive. Her project, Molten Media, examines the cultural
obsession with the creation and storage of codes as well as their
paradoxical disposability.
Examining the materiality of devices, likening them to fossils, suggests
taking a long-term view of media technology. Applying a deep-time
perspective to a rapid-cycling throwaway media culture, projects an
alternate timescale for its material existence. To think of these
objects in such terms begs the question of their origins, where this
material will go when it has finished serving its purpose, as well as
questioning its relation to our natural history.
Location: Vilém Flusser Archive (Room 208), Medienhaus, Universität der
Künste Berlin, 10823 Berlin, Grunewaldstraße 2-5 (U7, M48, M85 Kleistpark)
