Talks
Synopsis:
Technology has become a matter of faith. From self-optimisation regimes to crypto evangelism, techno-cults influence how we live, believe, and submit to the very systems that govern us. In this conversation, Günseli Yalcinkaya, Wassim Z. Alsindi and Ruby Justice Thelot examine the cultural and ideological infrastructures that normalise technology’s power – from game theory becoming lifestyle advice to continuous upgrades that seem impossible to refuse. When technological change is treated as faith rather than contestable design, areas of everyday life drift beyond public debate. Through case studies, Yalcinkaya, Alsindi and Thelot, trace the lore, folklore, and mysticism of techno-religious formations.
