“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Updated Future Talks

...I just updated my upcoming lectures if you're interested (click on "Future Talks").

Next up is Seoul, for a dialogue with Olafur Eliasson at the Leeum Museum. That's next week on September 28.

I fell in love with Seoul last week on my way back to Rome from Singapore. It's obvious if you're a buddhist how profoundly swathed in that peacefulness it is...I've been in love with ancient Korean ceramics for ages, that celadon ware.

There was a full on Vajrayana temple (Buddha Tooth) in Singapore that I really liked, too. Really luminous and dripping with floating transparent Pokémon, enough to give Badiou a nightmare.
