On Saturday, July 4th I'll be presenting an elaborated version of my essay "Fascism and the Spectacle of Death" at the Historical Materialism conference in Barcelona. The event will be held at the Nou Boustik, a self-organized factory space in the Sagrera neighborhood at the edge of the city. This talk will include some new research on SIMNET and the relation between simulation and state violence, as well as upon AI and the automation of kill chains. The whole program of the conference is available here, and the essay on which this talk is based can be read on ill will.
