EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT


Tate Modern Starr Auditorium
London

27-28 June 2008

Friedrich Kittler has been hailed as the 'Derrida of the digital age' and his work is indispensable to anyone thinking about technoculture across the fields of art, design, technology and science. This landmark event brings one of today's foremost philosophers of media to Tate Modern for an unmissable opportunity to examine the relationship between culture and technology with a range of leading thinkers and practitioners.

For anyone interested in the complex interactions with the technologies that surround us this event is essential, while for those unfamiliar with Kittler it presents an opportunity to discover the work of the leading figure in the flourishing area of German media theory. Media Matters is a two-day series of events that comprises:

A keynote lecture and performance by Friedrich Kittler with Joulia Strauss and Martin Carlé: "Preparing the Arrival of the Gods"

A symposium featuring leading thinkers in the fields of cultural theory, film and the arts

'Gramophones, Films, Typewriters': audio, video and text works curated by Seth Kim-Cohen
