EUROPEAN SCHOOL FOR SOCIAL IMAGINATION (scepsi) After San Marino, in May 2011, after Kafca@macba in December 2011, we are preparing Scepsi@dOCUMENTA (13) Run Morphogenesis will start in Kassel on June 7th What is the meaning of the word “transformation”? What is the meaning of change at the level of social life? What is the meaning of the expression: “beyond capitalist form”? What is “beyond”? And what is “form”? How does a (new) form emerge from chaosWhen can you say that a form is new? What is the meaning of “new”? These questions are urgent, as the current agony of capitalism is destroying the very legacy of social civilization, pulling social life into an abyss of violence, misery, and humiliation. We’ll try to answer these questions from several different points of view: of biology, of neurology, of synthetic images, and of social transformation. Our subject will be the morphogenetic process: determinism and uncertainty in the generation of forms, and the emergence of form from information. http://scepsi.eu/run-morph/run-morphogenesis You will find also some of the contributions at the Conference KAFCA (Knowledge against financial capitalism) http://scepsi.eu/category/kafca and the archive of the Conference of inauguration of the European School for Social Imagination, San Marino http://scepsi.eu/san-marino/conference-archive # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org
