Description
Catastrophe Time! explores the complex relationships between finance, catastrophe, and temporal technologies. Edited by artist Gary Zhexi Zhang, this collection brings together researchers and writers working at the boundaries of temporal practices to examine how speculative knowledge shapes reality. The contributors consider the power of temporal technologies, including currencies, conspiracies, and simulation models, to shape our understanding of the world. By traversing a gray zone between rigorous research and operative science fictions, they question how practices of speculation may transform, undermine, or exceed the worlds they set out to model. This urgent volume seeks to make sense of the unraveling times in which we live, offering insights into the conditions of speculative knowledge on an increasingly volatile planet.
