Metaprogramming the Society of Control: Rhetoric and Contemporary Security Interfaces

There is no need to invoke the extraordinary pharmaceutical productions, the molecular engineering, the genetic manipulations, although these are slated to enter the new process. There is no need to ask which is the toughest regime, for it's within each of them that liberating and enslaving forces confront one another....There is no need to fear or hope, but only to look for new weapons. Gilles Deleuze, Society of Control

 

 


 

 

 

This course will focus student attention on the tools, practices and assumptions of the contemporary security state as it seeks to govern the constantly proliferating information commons in the Wars on Terror(isms) and Drugs. Students will collaboratively investigate and creatively alter discourses of filesharing, hacking, biometrics and identification, data mining, surveillence and Temporary Autonomous Zones. As a course in rhetoric (the science of attention), the seminar will offer theories and practices for navigating and altering contemporary rhetorical ecologies featuring internet telephony, rfid systems and multimedia technical composition in the open source commons and its constantly differentiating subcultures. Participants will help compose global open source standards for emerging technologies such as nanotechnology and biotelemetrics.


Course Requirements

As practice in the inhabitation of temporary autonomous zones, students will compose for wiki three times per week, working with texts, images and sound. Students will compose a collaborative as well as individual final project analogous to a 15-20 page research paper.
