ALL WATCHED OVER: UTOPIAN DESIRE AND THE COMPUTATIONAL IMAGINARY

this Sunday 9.10.23

Address: 2328 N Milwaukee, top floor / Logan square

530 doors
630 screening
715 panel
8+ DRONE/AMBIENT/NOISE

Join CCAM and @theneulithium for a screening of Adam Curtis’s ALL WATCHED OVER BY MACHINES OF LOVING GRACE (2001), a gallivanting video essay about love, war, heroism, and computers, and the dream that we could run the world without politics.

Our panel, which will discuss the topics of the film but also Curtis’s idiosyncratic practice, samples the eclecticism of Chicago’s general intellect :

Seth Brodsky, musicology and psychoanalysis

Kristi McGuire, visual critical studies and its artistic and political outsides @oppressjunket

Doug Rosman, critical and speculative computational media art @thedougrosmanstory

Hang around after for a night of DAN (Drone/Ambient/Noise) curated by Andy Stroble!
