Description

The Leper Creativity Cyclonopedia Symposium is a multidimensional collection that interprets and realizes Reza Negarestani's influential work, Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials. This symposium brings together essays, articles, artworks, and documents from the 2011 event at The New School, featuring contributions from novelists, philosophers, artists, cinematographers, and designers. The volume explores the relationship between philosophy, geopolitics, geophysics, and art, delving into a speculative theology that blurs the lines between creator and created. It is a work of theory-fiction that has sparked vital debate among its wide-ranging audience. The symposium's unique approach to creativity is reflected in this collection, which both interprets and realizes Negarestani's ideas. Through its diverse range of contributions, the Leper Creativity Cyclonopedia Symposium offers a loving and perforated host of fresh heresies, shedding new light on key figures and concepts from the original text.
