The Critical Computation Bureau
is a collective of researchers, artists, and writers working at the intersection of technology and culture, computer science and information theory, aesthetics and politics. We are the ideators, organisers, coordinators, executors of the Symposium “Recursive Colonialism, Artificial Intelligence & Speculative Computation”. The collective is globally situated in the US, the UK, and Southern Italy and, together with its networks spanning several continents, is engaged in interventions in the technopolitics of racial capitalism and its recursive regeneration. The CCB has mixed together critical and creative practices borrowing models and methods from philosophy of technology, black studies, political theory, computer science and information theory, media aesthetics, cultural and digital media theories. Mixing soundz and screenings with concepts, functions and percepts, the CCB is launching RC as a virtual space for improper thinking and alien recombinations. Members of the CCB are Luciana Parisi, Ezekiel Dixon-Román, Tiziana Terranova, Oana Pârvan, and Brian D’Aquino.
