On the multifarious lives of umbrageous objects:

A neo-baroque cast of questions to unsettle digital ontologies. In search for how social and environmental change can be driven sustainably today, perhaps one question becomes especially important: namely that which asks about the relation between computation and time.

This DFR Talk will present and discuss 5 abstract figures of thought (tropes) for design-thinking, that engage with ‘recycling’ in this manner.

Five Tropes:

  • Of Lax Scope: Times of Crisis, Outrage and Computation
  • Vanitas: Algebra and Nullity
  • Umbrageous Objects: An Ars Memoria that aims at Forgetting
  • Decreation and Advocacy (Fürsprache): Philology and Code
  • Copia and Consumption: Circular Writing and Still Lives today
