Lecture Topic

To be heretical is to overstep the limits of held opinion and dogma. What would “heretical computing” be like? What is more digital than the digital? What is more analog than the analog? In this lecture, Alexander Galloway asks precisely these questions and goes to the outer limits of technics through forms of hypertrophic digitality and exotic analogicity, testing techniques of encryption, compression, entropy, indeterminancy, opacity, and generic science.
