On Tuesday October 28th I’m giving a free, open-to-the-public talk at Cooper Union. It’s part of their Interdisciplinary Seminar speaker series. Expect discussion of Sufi Plug Ins, Enkutatash እንá‰áŒ£áŒ£áˆ½, and, if the clock allows, my thoughts on nonlinear time vis-à -vis databases, Aztec loop music, and Christopher Columbus’s faulty biodiesel clipper.
I was asked to assign brief readings for students in the course, and gave them this:
Jace Clayton, “The Voice of Huitzilopochtli†Frieze
Jace Clayton, “Something New: Cairo finds a voice in festival music†Fader
Lev Manovich, “Database as Symbolic Formâ€
