<nettime-ann> Fwd: Localhost presents Anti-Tech: A screening of Das Netz (Edinburgh, Thurs 24 Sept)


.
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.
