Mute Issue Launch and Party Friday 16 November

Viral Utopias
November 16th – 7PM til 1AM @ Limehouse Town Hall

Panics, plagues, and politics. Countless times the death of politics, utopia and neoliberalism has been proclaimed... and just as many times the lumbering remains of our conceptual apparatuses dust themselves and trundle on again... mutating their movements in unfolding recombinatory patterns.

Come join us to celebrate the release of several new publications exploring this overlap between the utopian and the viral, the networked and the not-worked: Virality: Contagion Theory in the Age of Networks by Tony Sampson; Contract & Contagion: From Biopolitics to Oikonomia by Angela Mitropoulos; Open Utopia by Thomas More & Stephen Duncombe; and the current issue of Mute Magazine, ‘Becoming Impersonal’ Vol.3 #3.
