DESCRIPTION

The Dark Universe takes its title from Sonic Acts Festival 2013. The lectures, works, films, events, and performances presented at the festival explored a variety of aspects of our unknown universe and the state of our planet, and this collection of essays, interviews and images complements and extends the festival theme. The book, through a series of critical essays, follows a trajectory from the unknown universe as explored by physics and astronomy, to the outlook for humanity and human society on our planet. Along the way, conversations and interviews with artists reveal how they investigate phenomenological reality and the dark spots in our sensory apparatus. Interwoven throughout the book is a series of visual ‘data essays’ by Bitcaves explore earth orbiting satellites, space debris, and the infrastructures of global finance.
