CHAOS RESEARCH HUB starting on 20 October 2024 !!
|| A collaboration between Chaosmos and Incite Seminars

GROUP DESCRIPTION

Despite the modern obsession to control, chaos is everywhere around us. From wildfires to floods to never-ending wars: rationalism failed so drastically that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to start thinking upside down, namely that chaos—and not logos—is the actual Big Boss who can never be controlled. Instead of trying to control, we would be better off to figure out how to attune to chaos, and how to use its vast creative force to change the world.

Chaos Research Group is a fabulative, post-disciplinary research hub, taking as its starting point the primacy of chaos in the most ancient cosmologies. On top of that, ever since Nietzsche, chaos—and not logos—is of growing interest in contemporary philosophy. On top of that, chaos theory in physics is nowadays applied in various disciplines, not only in the natural sciences but throughout the humanities. What else?

We take these disciplines as mere materials to be used, compared and played with in a fantafuturistic setting where the distinction into academic disciplines has become obsolete. Moreover, there is no longer a difference between scientific research and artistic creation: in a world ruled by chaos, everything goes.

Feel free to register and join the group at any time. We meet every other Sunday online.

Readings/lectures/artworks/films, etc. will be proposed by the members of the group. Due to the vastness of the field, potential topics may include:

Comparative mythology
New Materialisms
Non-Philosophy
Deep Ecology
Anarchism
Self-organizing systems
Cybernetics
Chaos Theory
Psychedelics
Chaos Magick
Mysticism
…

Hurray!! our short films STRANGE VISITORS and UNDERGRASS will be screened at the 4th International Colloquium in Contemporary Philosophy and Culture at the University of Nagano, Japan | May 31- June 2 | Theme: Nature, Spirituality, and Culture

Set in an utopian/dystopian future after a global calamity, STRANGE VISITORS explores the potential of non-human agency in respect of the environmental crisis. A surrealist and dream-like sound&landscape transcending the anthropocentric notions of reality and love.

UNDERGRASS is a polyphony of stories locked in voices of humans and a bamboo forest in Águeda, Portugal. The film sprouted from a gathering for collective listening with the bamboo forest, exploring human-soil relations by sensing multiple deaths and (re)births.
