The Slow Cancellation Of The Future

The Slow Cancellation Of The Future. Mark Fishers Ghosts of My Past shows the world through Fishers eyes a beautifully depressing elegy for cultural progress and passion in a world dominated by cheap stimulation and the marketplace. Our frame of reference is Franco Bifo Berardis slow cancellation of the future which we in the same breath proclaim our opposition to.

Mark Fisher reminds us that its meaning is not only that sense of termination but also the gradual nature of it. Slow Cancellation of the Future brings together artistic works and research positions from across the world in an endeavour to sense and chronicle recent riots and uprisings evoking a phenomenology of the multitude. In his book After The Future Franco Bifo Berardi refers to the the slow cancellation of the future which got underway in the 1970s and 1980s.

He is referring not to a direction of time but rather a psychological perception.

The idea of the slow cancellation of the future captures very well the sense of the ebbing away of a certain conception of cultural time. The slow cancellation of the future. In drawing from the reading of the slow cancellation of the future by Franco Bifo Berardi and Mark Fisher this exhibition wrestles with lost futures while investigating micropolitics of the crowd and the many languages of uprising that refuse the loophole of retreat.
