SIMULTAN FESTIVAL ed. XVII
THE CHANGING AND THE INDETERMINATE
10 — 18 SEPT 2023 / MX + COMENDUIREA GARNIZOANEI, TIMIȘOARA
EDITIONS WEBPAGE
The Changing and The Indeterminate, aims to channel ideas and generate new perspectives in the context of the (post) global pandemic and its consequences, as well as the reverberations caused by the war in Ukraine.
The term The Changing and The Indeterminate, borrowed from a study by Ted Nelson on the structuring and processing of information, in which he first mentions the term hypertext and hypermedia, the idea of a complex system of interconnected elements.
This idea was born more than 50 years ago, today there are already complex interconnected systems that give us access to information through the Internet, but it has also created other close connections with the physical world, on different levels, economic, social or scientific.
The world economy is a complex system composed of a multitude of interconnected but distinct networks – networks of people, goods, money or even bits. These networks are in constant motion, people are moving, goods are moving, money is being transferred and data is moving – as has always been the case. Under Capitalism this movement takes on a new form. Movement becomes the precondition for growth, which in turn is the precondition for the stability of Capitalist social relations. In essence, the system cannot survive without movement. But what happens when this system crashes and major, irreparable ruptures occur?
