The Stack We Have and The Stack To Come by Benjamin Bratton at the 2016 Gray Area Festival
Different genres of computation—smart grids, cloud platforms, mobile apps, smart cities, the Internet of Things, automation—can be seen not as so many species evolving on their own, but as forming a coherent whole: an accidental mega-structure called The Stack that is both a computational apparatus and a new governing architecture. The Stack is an interdisciplinary design brief for a new geopolitics that works with and for planetary-scale computation. Interweaving the continental, urban, and perceptual scales, it shows how we can better build, dwell within, communicate with, and govern our worlds.
The Gray Area Festival is four days of conference, performances, workshops, and exhibitions to discuss the impact of art and technology on culture. More at [ Ссылка ]
