Part of United We

In three movie matinees we will look into the topics of self-organizing systems, the politics of the collective and the elimination or disappearance of the individual. This first afternoon at Buerau Europa the documentary All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace (Adam Curtis, 2011) will be shown. A series of three documentaries about the way we have been colonized by the machines we built ourselves. Curtis shows the emergence of self-organizing systems and the relationship to our faith in computers. The titles of the episodes are:
1. Love And Power
2. The Use And Abuse Of Vegetational Concepts
3. The Monkey In The Machine And The Machine In The Monkey
