Collider

Design as generic science.

• • Collider makes a speculative proposal about the future of design. Initiated by a desire to rethink the legacy of Detroit Techno music as a program for post-planetary design, the project endeavors to articulate a design methodology that comes to terms with the aesthetic dimension of François Laruelle’s non-standard philosophy—arguably the most sci-fi of any contemporary theorist—as well as Anne-Françoise Schmid’s non-standard epistemology. One central component of the project is Base Camp Alpha, a prototype—or simulation—of musical interaction in a post-work society where all artwork is created by artificial intelligences that are trained on genres, movements, and styles of the past. In this world, there is no new music, only new experiences of it enabled by technology. All humans have become non-musicians.
