Atif Akin | morph, mutant, myth

Atif Akin’s lecture will focus on works that examine science, nature, mobility, and politics through (a) historical and contemporary lens, exploring transdisciplinary issues within a technoscientific context. Akin delves into his decade-long research on radiation, mutation, and archaeology, offering a narrative on the intersection of art, science, and politics. He examines radioactivity and mutant spaces, positioning the nuclear as a deep time-space interface.

The discussion challenges conventional discourses, prompting deeper reflection on technoscience and its contemporary relevance.

Ian Hodder’s book Entangled: An Archaeology of the Relationships between Humans and Things is recommended as complementary reading. 

Part of the Fall 2024 Lecture Series. The lecture is free and open to the public.
