Liberate The Machines, Booklaunch by Joost Rekveld
Details
What happens when we begin to see machines not as passive tools, but as active collaborators in shaping our world? On 14 November, CCU hosts the launch of Joost Rekveld’s new book Liberate the Machines!, an evening that combines a booklaunch and film screening with a conversation between Joost Rekveld and artist/writer Marloes de Valk.
Joost Rekveld has long been exploring the hidden lives of technology, asking how machines can be liberated from purely functional purposes and instead become partners in artistic and ecological research. His work invites us to consider the agency of technological bodies, and how they might participate in a wider web of more-than-human relations.
This event is both a celebration and a conversation: a chance to engage with Joost Rekveld’s practice, to reflect on the role of machines in our shared futures, and to connect with the CCU community and fellow enthusiasts of new media art. It is part of the larger story CCU tells as a Zoöp: a cooperative where more-than-human voices are given space, and where technology itself is recognized as a vital participant.
