Description
Eugene Thacker – Sketches For Biotech Research – Compact Disc
Eugene Thacker is a contemporary American philosopher, author, and professor known for his work in the fields of philosophy, media theory, and cultural studies. He has explored a wide range of topics, including technology, media, science fiction, horror, and the intersections between philosophy, biology, and technology.
This CD is an attempt to suggest a particular type of body of sound, influenced, on the one hand, by the ‘technosciences’ of digital anatomy and biotechnology (both of which have significant ties to the Internet), and on the other, by the kinaesthetics of electronic dance music.
Noise provided a kind of kinetic pivot-point between these two types of bodies (one immobilized by databases, genetic codes, taxonomies and diagrams; the other constantly mobile through the use of electronic beats and regular rhythmic patterns). Thus, many sounds from the physical body, sounds or pulses produced by digital file transmission or errors, and heavily processed/edited samples from techno and drum’n’bass, all contributed to the source material for this CD.
Eugene Thackers’ books delve into themes of existentialism, nihilism, and the relationship between philosophy and horror in contemporary culture. Thacker’s writing often explores the dark and unsettling aspects of existence, drawing inspiration from horror literature, science fiction, and speculative philosophy.
Eugene Thacker has also written on topics related to technology, media, and biopolitics. While I don’t have specific information about a work titled “Sketches for Biotech Research,” it’s possible that it could be a more recent publication or a specialized work that falls beyond my current knowledge cutoff date.
Thacker’s interdisciplinary approach and unique perspective have contributed to his reputation as a thought-provoking and innovative philosopher, making him an influential figure in contemporary philosophical discussions.
