Programme Change
Rem Koolhaas's re-scheduled lecture for Friday 13th July 15.30-16.30 will NOT now take place. The conference will open with the Kittler/Hasumi Plenary on Friday 13th July at 17.00, followed by the reception at 19.00, as originally announced. We apologise for any inconvenience that this will cause.
The reason Rem Koolhaas is unable to come is that his schedule changed at the last minute as he was summoned to Dubai to discuss on 13th and 14th July 'a unique project, a once in a lifetime opportunity' - an unprecedented architectural venture both for Rem and his OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture) company.
We would much appreciate your understanding in this matter and we do look forward to seeing you in Tokyo.
Plenary speakers will include:
Rem Koolhaas- Friedrich Kittler "Ontology of the media"
- Shigehiko Hasumi "Unrepresentability" and fiction"
- Bernard Stiegler "Teleologiques. De l'escargot"
- Barbara Maria Stafford "Thoughts Not Our Own: The Decalibrated Cognitive System and Its Disconnects"
