My name is blue.
藍天瑀
I am blue like the expanse of the sky, splicing the heavens, delineating the infinities that bound our material world
天
I am blue like the gleam of the stones, where we find the meatspace and long for the perversion of corporeal reality
瑀
The landscapes of the human skin is blue
The materiality of the flesh is blue
The transfiguration of the Real is blue
The ode to the Eternal Forms is blue
The infinite tends to the singular
The singularity tends to infinity
The weave and its asymptotic slink is blue
Dilation of the interlaced net, of the deep black pinhole of perception
Contraction of gridlined plane, of the murky darkness of yonic wavelengths
Blue consumes its tail.

EXTRACORPOREALITY: BODIES AND THE URGE TO TRANSCEND
Pushkin House
*For their second round of presentations for Pushkin YOUNG, the cultural collective Everyone is a Girl introduces four speakers that tackle the problem of the body. The body has had a muddled and sultry decade in the world of critical theory as various new frameworks (posthumanism, transhumanism, corporeal feminism, OOO, etc.) attempt to take on its relation to other organisms, technology, and (a possible) higher consciousness.

The second issue presents a bold collection of theory-fiction, critical essays, poetry, and visual works that unravel the tangled realities of contemporary technics, artificial intelligence, and the psychosocial architectures of domination.
The evening will open with a 30-minute talk by the Xeno Futurism editorial team Nuru Khaliel and Akin Askinoglu, introducing the new issue and the editorial vision behind it.
Our keynote speaker, Alfie Bown (King’s College London, Digital Media Culture and Technology), will deliver a talk examining the technological implications of the digital on politics, culture, and the individual through a psychoanalytic lens. His keynote will also introduce ideas from his forthcoming work, Psychotic Capitalism.
Following the keynote, a panel of contributors from Issue 2 will expand on the issue’s themes through a series of short talks and discussion:
- Ivar Frisch — Accelerating Machine Vision into Darkness
- Willem Deisinger — Psychopolitics, Amulets, and Psychohacking
- Blue Lam — Daoist Philosophy and Cosmotechnics as Gateway to Reconciling our Relationship to the Cyberspace
Bringing together thinkers from philosophy, cultural theory, and media studies, Technologies of Domination invites critical engagement with how technology mediates perception, subjectivity, and power in an age of accelerated technology.
