\nWhere the liberal-humanist sensibility has always held the literary work to be a form of self-expression, a meticulous sculpting of the thoughts and feelings of an isolated individual who has mastered his or her poetic craft, a technologically savvy sensibility might see it completely differently: as a set of transmissions, filtered through subjects whom technology and the live word have ruptured, broken open, made receptive. I know which side I’m on: the more books I write, the more convinced I become that what we encounter in a novel is not selves, but networks; that what we hear in poems is (to use the language of communications technology) not signal but noise. The German poet Rilke had a word for it: Ger\u00c3\u00a4usch, the crackle of the universe, angels dancing in the static.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nAn evening of discussions and interrogations organised by the International Necronautical Society<\/strong>. The INS is a semi-fictitious organisation founded by author and artist Tom McCarthy<\/strong>, closely modelled on the European avant-gardes of the early twentieth century. McCarthy will be joined by award-winning novelist Chloe Aridjis<\/strong> and scholar Richard Martin<\/strong> as they interrogate acclaimed writer and psychoanalyst Darian Leader and leading architect Patrick Lynch<\/strong>. The proceedings will be monitored by INS Chief of Propaganda Anthony Auerbach<\/strong> and INS Environmental Engineer Laura Hopkins<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
