The seminar Algorithmic Mediation and Smartness by Bernard Geoghegan, Stéphane Grumbach, Orit Halpern, Olivier Hamant, and Robert Mitchell with Mark Hansen and Erich Hörl is part of the ANTHROPOCENE CURRICULUM | CAMPUS: THE TECHNOSPHERE ISSUE.
The seminar explores the Anthropocene—and the possibility it will lead to the “technoscene,” in which technology itself becomes a geological force, progressively independent of the (democratic) decisions of humans—through two related concepts: “intermediation” and “smartness.”
