This all took place in and around Southwark Park, and simultaneously with the Kittler Picnic event.

Kittler Picnic (Event) Writing tools make communities possible. The late theorist Fredrich Kittler wrote on machine determinism and its dominance over the way humans communicate and behave. If technology is not an extension of us, but we – instead – part of its autonomous evolution, what is the relationship between technology and society? A group of artists and writers propose a picnic, a networked event that performs the distribution and digestion of knowledge. Circuits and systems of eating and communicating, recording and transcribing, are enacted in a public park. Thinking is translated into binary codes, appropriated, cooked and consumed.
