TALKS—On May 9th I'll be delivering a new talk titled "10 Theses on the Digital"
in Erich Hörl's colloquium in Bochum, Germany,
followed by three talks in the UK: May 14 at Goldsmiths, May 15 at the University of Southampton, and May 16
at the University of Sussex.
AUDIO—If you missed
Dark Nights of the Universe,
you can listen to the audio
archive of the event that took place over
four consecutive nights at the end of April.
Thanks to The Public School New York and Recess for hosting us.
NEW BOOK—I'm pleased to announce
that The Interface Effect will
be published this fall by Polity. Six years in the making, the book represents the culmination of my
explorations into the aesthetics and politics of digital media, and I am very excited that it will
soon see the light of day.
ESSAYS—Some new arrivals...
a piece on Nils Aall Barricelli in the
current issue of Grey Room (more about that),
a book chapter on Tiqqun and black boxes
(also available in German),
something about rainbows and peacocks in the Beheading book,
and an essay about light in the Cyclonopedia book.
TRANSLATION—Jason E. Smith and I recently translated
Introduction to
Civil War by Tiqqun. I've also translated two short pieces by François Laruelle,
The Truth According to Hermes and
Theorems on the Good News.

FRENCH THEORY TODAY — An Introduction to Possible Futures

Book page
This set of five pamphlets documents a seminar
at the Public
School New York, a self-organizing educational program where
class ideas are generated by the public. "French Theory Today"
explores the work of a new generation of French voices—Catherine
Malabou, Bernard Stiegler, Mehdi Belhaj Kacem, Quentin
Meillassoux, and François Laruelle—whose writing has,
to varying degrees, only recently emerged in the
English-speaking world. Each night the seminar consisted of a
lecture followed by questions from and discussion with class
participants. As Galloway suggests in the online class proposal,
the goal was "not to set in aspic a new canon for French
philosophy, but to proceed inductively, tracing some recent
experiments and possible futures."
Pamphlet 1 | Catherine Malabou, or The Commerce in Being
Pamphlet 2 | Bernard Stiegler, or Our Thoughts are With Control
Pamphlet 3 | Mehdi Belhaj Kacem, or Unworkability
Pamphlet 4 | Quentin Meillassoux, or The Great Outdoors
Pamphlet 5 | François Laruelle, or The Secret

Index
"An engaging methodological hybrid of the Frankfurt School and UNIX
for Dummies... Galloway brings the uncool question of morality back
into critical thinking" (more)
—Ed Halter in The Village
Voice
"Expressing some startling new lines of thought with refreshingly straightforward clarity, Galloway reminds all of us why thinking about networks and their protocols is so relevant to our time. From FTP to fluxus or Deleuze to DNS, these are the connections that need to be made between the models competing to be our reality."
—Douglas Rushkoff, author of Media Virus, Coercion, and Nothing Sacred
