----------empyre- soft-skinned space---------------------- We welcome Adam "A.J." Nocek once again as our guest moderator for September.
A.J. Nocek is a PhD candidate in the Comparative Literature Department and instructor in the Comparative History of Ideas Program at the University of Washington. His research lies at the intersections of media and aesthetics, design and biotechnology, and algorithmic culture and global-scale neoliberalism. Nocek has published essays on the philosophy of A.N. Whitehead, media theory, artificial life, and architecture. He is the co-editor of the collection, The Lure of Whitehead (Minnesota 2014), and a special issue of the journal, Inflexions, titled Animating Biophilosophy (2014). Tim Murray and I first met Adam at Syracuse University just north of Cornell during a conference.. He was our guest moderator last September hosting a rigorous month on "BioArt: Materials, Practices, Politics." He joins us again this September hosting a topic: "Design That Matters." Welcome Adam and thanks so much.
