n.n. Notes and Nodes by Felix Stalder
by Felix Stalder
I collect here my work, which, by and large, deals with the (deep) present at the intersection of cultural, political, and technological dynamics. Much of it focuses on practices of commoning, datafication, AI, and transformation of nature and of subjectivity .
I work as a professor at the Zurich University of the Arts, in the “art:ifical studies” major. I like to teach; I learn a lot this way. What? Here are my my syllabi.
If possible, I work collaboratively with lovely people such as Cornelia Sollfrank, !Mediengruppe Bitnik, Gordan Savičić, Vladan Joler, Ted Byfield, tante, Shusha Niederberger and others.
I’m long-time moderator of <nettime >, a crucial nexus of critical net culture, first for the email list (1998-2023) and now for TLDR, its node in the fediverse. I’m a member of the World Information Institute and the Technopolitics Working Group, both based in Vienna.
