Lecture with Flavia Dzodan

As part of (create) Situations, some of the people invited to the course will also give a series of public lectures that expand on the debates guiding this edition to share them with a wider audience. Taking the concept of brain rot as a starting point, these sessions will explore the relationships between contemporary digital cultures, attention economies, technological infrastructures and the forms of power that shape our everyday experience of the internet. A public programme that complements the course's collective learning process and invites reflection, from diverse perspectives, on the political, cultural and material effects of contemporary hyperconnectivity.
