[Nettime-bold] SCI_Arc: Terrorism + Architecture Symposium (final program and text) |
==TERRORISM + ARCHITECTURE ==SCI_Arc (The Southern California Institute of Architecture) Fall Semester Symposium: The terrorism/ architecture overfold is more than the spectacle of extreme gesture, it is a strategic assault on the fabric of a particular configuration of inhabitation. It is an attack on a particular regime of bodily-space, and the programmatic declaration of another to take its place. The architectures of terror are organized according to/against deeply habituated cultural, social, discursive, technological, and even topological lived patterns. What appears to be an attack on a habitat, or an attack on its inhabitants, is really an erasure of a mode and moment of occupation, of the meaningful structure of collective organization played out there. What re-emerges then is both the deeply architectonic character of political/ transpolitical action, and the universally contestational quality of space. Benjamin H. Bratton and Norman M. Klein, co-organizers. + Roger O.
