Extraction in the context of media culture and art

In this fifth episode IHME’s Advisory Board member Professor Jussi Parikka discusses with artist, researcher Samir Bhowmik. In his work Bhowmik unpacks the concept of material and cultural extraction in the context of media culture and art, in order to open up, on the one hand, understanding of the exploitation of natural resources and, on the other hand, of the changes occurring in the environment as consequence of it. In this podcast Parikka and Bhowmik continue their on-going conversation around different topics such as artistic practice, architecture, cultural institutions, energy as well as material and cultural extraction.
