Contain Podcast BA

In this collaborative episode between Contain and Rave New World, Michelle and Barrett make it to the UCLA student protest encampment just hours before it was violently shut down by the authorities. Slipping past plywood barricades into the graffiti-bombed "liberated zone," they discover an anxious scene of protestors gearing up for a confrontation with the police, as snipers prowl the roof and police helicopters whirr overhead. Through conversations with a contrasting cast of characters--from a conservative YouTuber to a communist cowboy, Muslim-American students and a Jewish activist--this episode presents a kaleidoscopic view of the chaotic, complex reality unfolding in-real-time.

Episode on the history of non/anti-cybernetics (Game/Automata/Double Bind Theory) developed in the UK, US, USSR, and China and what that means for us today: cognitive autonomy, surveillance, breaking out of the cyberculture, etc. Throught the 20th century complexity studies were conducted globally by social psychologists, computer scientists, and mathematicians in capitalist and socialist countries alike, and despite them all adopting the same trendy word at one point or another: "Cybernetics", that wasn't exactly what they were all just doing. And they certainly weren't aiming for the same outcome of streamlined logistical matrices--and depending on the cultural, social, and national context, sometimes aimed for the opposite!
