SUMMARY:Art Exhibition "Planning" by Raphael Arar
DESCRIPTION:The description is taken from the website of the event. \n“Opening Reception\nSaturday\, November 1\, 5-8 pm \nOpen Hours\nSat-Sun 12-5 pm\ndrop in or by appointment \nEmail info@carnationcontemporary.com\nto schedule a visit \nEXHIBITION\nIn Planning\, Raphael Arar extends his research-based art practice into the terrain of collective decision-making. The exhibition moves between earnest proposals and playful provocations\, between technical schemas and poetic operations. Each piece navigates the design challenges of organizing ourselves differently\, treating economic coordination as both practical problem and aesthetic proposition. The works assemble fragments of other possibilities\, leaving open the question of what democratic economic planning might look like.  \n  \nARTIST\nRaphael Arar works at the nexus of complex systems\, transdisciplinary design and arts-based research. His work highlights the social\, political and economic implications of technological acceleration and human-to-machine interaction. His artwork has been exhibited at venues internationally including the ZKM | Center for Art and Media\, The Science Gallery\, Moscow Museum of Applied Art\, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory\, International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA)\, ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems\, Gamble House Museum\, Boston Cyberarts Gallery\, and Athens Video Art Festival. Notable commissions include Noema Magazine\, Goethe Institut\, Gray Area Foundation for the Arts\, Intel Labs and IBM Research. Commercially\, his design work has been featured in publications including Forbes\, TED\, Inc. Magazine\, FastCompany\, Wired and others.”

SUMMARY:INDEP online Talk with Kai Heron\, Keir Milburn and Bertie Russell on Radical Abundance
DESCRIPTION:Capitalism has created a world of bullshit abundance\, where we have too much of what we don’t need and too little of what we do. Through this system’s relentless pursuit of profits\, we have been put on a collision course with social and ecological limits that can no longer be ignored. We need an alternative. We need radical abundance. A world of human and non-human flourishing made possible by democratically planned production. But radical abundance can’t just be voted into existence through parliamentary means\, it must be made by taking control of our collective reproduction in the here and now.\nRadical Abundance: How to Win a Green Democratic Future examines what a transition to a world of radical abundance looks like and lays out a concrete strategy for achieving it. Join the authors Kai Heron\, Keir Milburn\, and Bertie Russell as they discuss their book and their attempts to build democratic economic planning from below. \nThe event will be in English. \nTo participate\, please register here.

SUMMARY:INDEP online Talk with Dennis Yao on Political\, Theoretical\, and Computational Models of Social Worlds
DESCRIPTION:This talk considers the role of politics in the construction of systems of democratic planning. The thesis is that planning systems are downstream of theoretical models of society\, and theoretical models are downstream of politics. But what makes a political question different from a theoretical one? The definition of a good model may change as we shift registers. And what guarantees do we have that the tools we build for democratic planning will be responsive to these questions? \nFor example\, there may be various demands that a planning system should operate the same regardless of your position in society. But then this implies taking into account those positions which may be exogenous to the system. The definition of success thereby becomes bounded to historical-political processes. We will consider a framework for incorporating this type of social information in the case of computer simulations\, as well as the challenges of deploying such computational models. \nDennis Yao is a member of the Subset of Theoretical Practice. \nThe event will be in English. \nTo participate\, register here. \nPhoto by Bioscience Image Library by Fayette Reynolds on Unsplash.

SUMMARY:Bimodal seminar with Jason W. Moore: Postcapitalism in the Web of Life?
DESCRIPTION:Jason Moore offers a critique of capitalism as a way of organizing planetary life. We would like to have a prospective discussion on how planetary life could be organized after capitalism. The conclusion of “L’écologie-monde du capitalisme” is entitled “Vers le Prolétarocène”; what form could this new relationship with our planet take? What would its institutions\, productive forms\, symbolic mediations\, and ways of allocating resources be? What must be done to avoid returning to or reproducing the Capitalocene? \nThis seminar is bimodal. People are welcome to join online\, but priority will be given to in-person discussion. This seminar is not an introduction to Jason W. Moore’s work; participants are expected to be familiar with his work to engage in the discussion. \nTo register for online participation: https://uottawa-ca.zoom.us/meeting/register/5M5TYijKR0egHz2JpJcZpA \nThis seminar is organized by the research group on democratic economic planning of the Research Center on Social Innovation and Transformation (CRITS) and the Atelier d’écologie sociale du capitalisme avancé (ESCA).
