Calculating Empires is a work that examines the relationship between technology and power from 1500 to the present, showing how today’s technologies are the culmination of systems of knowledge and control.
Authors Kate Crawford and Vladan Joler, following Donna Haraway, explore the “computing of domination” and the interplay between power, information and historical facts.
The work invites you to imagine other realities and requires close observation to grasp its complexity, so guided tours help you to interpret and take advantage of the information it presents.
The guided tour will be on Saturday, March 22 at 12:30 pm.
To attend, prior registration is required by e-mail at info@laboralcentrodearte.org or by phone at 985 185 577.
This work is included in the exhibition Digital Machines. Technology, Industry, Society.
The visit will be guided by Manuel Prados, cultural mediator, researcher and artist.
Activity in collaboration with the Master of Visual Arts and Education of the University of Granada.
