English abstract:
ON THE MULTIFARIOUS LIVES OF UMBRAGEOUS OBJECTS: A NEO-BAROQUE CAST OF QUESTIONS TO UNSETTLE DIGITAL DESIGN ONTOLOGIES

In search for how social and environmental change can be driven sustainably today, perhaps one question becomes especially important: namely that which asks about the relation between computation and time.

This lecture will present and discuss 5 abstract figures of thought (tropes) for design-thinking, that engage with 'recycling' in this manner.

The Five Tropes:
Of Lax Scope: Times of Crisis, Outrage and Computation
Vanitas: Algebra and Nullity
Umbrageous Objects: An Ars Memoria that aims at Forgetting
Decreation and Advocacy (Fürsprache): Philology and Code
Copia and Consumption: Circular Writing and Still Lives today
