Friedrich Kittler has been hailed as the 'Derrida of the digital age' and
his work is indispensable to anyone thinking about technoculture. This
landmark event brings one of today's foremost philosophers of media to Tate
Modern for an unmissable opportunity to examine the relationship between
culture and technology with a range of leading thinkers and practitioners.
For anyone interested in our complex interactions with the technologies that
surround us this event is essential, while for those unfamiliar with Kittler
it presents an opportunity to discover the work of the leading figure in the
flourishing area of German media theory.

Media Matters is a two-day series of events that comprises:

A keynote lecture and performance by Friedrich Kittler with Joulia Strauss
and Martin Carlé: 'Preparing the Arrival of the Gods'.

A symposium featuring leading thinkers in the fields of cultural theory,
film and the arts.
Speakers include Caroline Bassett, Steven Connor, Alex Galloway, Mark
Hansen, John D. Peters and Pam Thurschwell. Plus a Q+A with Friedrich
Kittler and Anthony Moore.

'Gramophones, Films, Typewriters': audio, video and text works by ten
international artists including Julian Rosefeldt, Dexter Sinister, Janice
Kerbel, the Chadwijks and Jarrod Fowler. Curated by Seth Kim-Cohen.

In collaboration with the London Consortium
With additional support from Birkbeck, Goethe-Institut and iRes Research in
Interactive Art & Design at University College Falmouth
