Douglas Luman on Learning from Digital Debris

On Friday, April 7th at 1PM, digital human and professor of computer science Douglas Luman will lead a workshop based off on their project, Rationalism. “A computational mistranslation of mid-twentieth century Fascist architectural writing, Rationalism engages how fascist principles, long-since published, reverberate in similar expressions of contemporary rhetoric, investigating figurative and physical constructs as mechanisms of isolation and containment built into language. Intentionally “ruining” these structures, Rationalism sifts through the debris to understand the materials from which they are built and who builds them.”
