Keynote at Digital Earth Conference, Ashkal Alwan, Beirut, 20-21 April 2019.
The term Anthropocene was popularised in the early twenty-first century to designate that human civilization has become a geological force. The impact of our species on the planet›s material organisation is irrevocable and increasing. The future of the planet over the span of millennia is completely uncertain. Yet action has to be taken now. But how to take action when it is the unknown future that must determine what takes place now, and at a planetary scale? In this talk Bauer and Malik present their research on how the demands of such a practical and theoretical reordering of time and its conventions outside human experience can be met. Elaborating on their development of notions of Xenotemporality (Bauer) and the Chronocene (Malik), as well as reflections drawn from the Home Workspace Program at Ashkal Alwan that concludes just before the Digital Earth symposium, Bauer and Malik consider how large-scale digital computation processes can transform the basis and horizons of political action in a present whose anthropometric limits are displaced by time and complexity.
