Experience

http://www.egs.edu/ Manuel DeLanda speaking about materialism and experience, Gilles Deleuze, materialist philosophy, left and marxist movement, a world of experience, philosophy of nature, social constructivism, sociology, materialism, Immanuel Kant, David Hume, Martin Heidegger and Jacques Derrida. Free public open video lecture for the students and faculty of the European Graduate School EGS, Film Media and Communication Studies department program, Saas-Fee, Switzerland, Europe, 2008. Manuel De Landa.

Manuel DeLanda, (born 1952 in Mexico City), is a writer, artist and distinguished philosopher who has lived in New York since 1975. He is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at Columbia University (New York), a Professor for Contemporary Philosophy and Science at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland, a professor at the Canisius College in Buffalo, New York, and professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Design in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

He is the author of War in the Age of Intelligent Machines (1991), A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History (1997), Intensive Science and Virtual Philosophy (2002) and A New Philosophy of Society: Assemblage Theory and Social Complexity (2006). He has published many articles and essays and lectured extensively in Europe and in the United States. His work focuses on the theories of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze on one hand, and modern science, self-organizing matter, artificial life and intelligence, economics, architecture, chaos theory, history of science, nonlinear science, cellular automata on the other. De Landa became a principal figure in the “new materialism” based on his application of Deleuze’s realist ontology. His universal research into “morphogenesis” – the production of the semi-stable structures out of material flows that are constitutive of the natural and social world – has been of interest to theorists across many academic and professional disciplines.

Alongside his intellectual work, DeLanda made several short Super 8 and 16mm films in the 1970s and early 1980s, all of which are now out of circulation. Cited by filmmaker Nick Zedd in his Cinema of Transgression Manifesto, DeLanda associated with many of the experimental and art filmmakers of this New York based movement. Much of DeLanda’s film work is inspired by his interest in philosophy and critical theory; one of his best known films, Raw Nerves, has been described as a ‘Lacanian thriller’ by at least one critic.

Directed by Harriet Boxley, year 10, Newport Girls’ High School, Shropshire.
Six students from Newport Girls’ High School have spent the past week on work experience at Harper Adams.
The girls worked in different departments at the University College to experience what is expected of them in a job, and to understand what it is like to apply for one.
Most year ten students, aged 14-15, have been working at different locations across the country as part of the curriculum, and the girls have spent their week working in areas such as finance, the farm, business, laboratories and the Companion Animals Unit while at Harper.
Harriet Boxley, age 14, has spent her time working in the press office with Communications Manager, Janine Heath. She said: “I applied for work experience at Harper Adams, because I am interested in a career in both animation and design in film, or in wildlife conservation.
“Harper has a wide range of different work experience options, so I thought it would be a great place to spend my time.”
Harriet, from Newport, has helped to direct a news video by interviewing her peers and editing the footage. She has also produced a photographic storyboard, explaining step-by-step how to handle a bearded dragon for the first time.
To see Harriet’s work, watch the video.

Sunday, April 11th on Facebook details at http://to.pbs.org/b9FWLJ // April 19th on your local PBS station details at http://to.pbs.org/9UlNKY // Witness the seeds of a revolution in EARTH DAYS, hailed as “spectacular” (Hollywood Reporter), “fascinating” (Bloomberg News) and “a beautifully composed tribute to visionary thinking and political ingenuity” (New York Times). Earth Days traces the development of the modern environmental movement from its post-war rumblings in the 1950s to the first wildly successful 1970 Earth Day celebration and the subsequent firestorm of political action to reveal an engaging history of the revolutionary achievements-—and missed opportunities-—of groundbreaking eco-activism. facebook.com/earthdays
