“Filosofie je nástroj, který nám umožňuje pochopit, co to znamená transformace systému, vytyčuje nový prostor, co může změna být. Pokud se podle nás svět skládá z jednotlivých atomických částí, které se mezi sebou nacházejí ve vztazích, které jsou druhotné, dojdeme k jinému pojetí změny, než když budeme chápat svět jako proces, dynamiku - v takovém pojetí se změna stane něčím, co je samotou podstatou světa. Např. v ekologické ekonomii už pojem ekonomika je založený na tomto principu změny, kde sebe, a stejně tak ekonomiku vnímáme jako metabolismus.” Filosof Lukáš Likavčan v 8. dílu Trhliny mluví o tom, jakou roli hraje filosofie pro sociálně-ekologickou transformaci a jak může koronavirová krize měnit naše chápání světa. Zamýšlí se také nad vnímáním technologií a nad tím, jak může klimatické hnutí vést ze současné krize směrem k sociálně-ekologické transformaci.

Lukáš Likavčan: Ke změně světa potřebujeme měnit jeho interpretaci

SONIC ACTS ACADEMY 2020Lukáš Likavčan – Introduction to Comparative Planetology23 February 2020 – De Brakke Grond, Amsterdam, The NetherlandsErrata: The lecturer would like to correct the crediting for Holly Herndon's 'Extreme Love’ track from her PROTO album and add co-authors Jenna Sutela and Lilly Anna Haynes.Theorist Lukáš Likavčan collaborates on art projects, including the simulation alt’ai, questioning machine protocols in communicating with environments. Exploring imaginations of Earth from the impersonal, totalising view to one in which humans are environmental accidents at home anywhere, he finds resonance in a line from Holly Herndon’s Extreme Love (2019): ​‘We are completely outside ourselves, and the world is completely inside us.’In his lecture Introduction to Comparative Planetology, Likavčan looks into how as a philosophical genre, comparative planetology presents an intertwined analysis of visual cultures of imagining the Earth and geopolitics of climate emergency. It compares different ​‘figures’ of the planet – the Planetary, the Globe, the Terrestrial, Earth-without-us and Spectral Earth. These five figures function simultaneously as visual paradigms, geopolitical regimes and design briefs; each of them has different prospects in guiding our interventions against runaway global heating, and ultimately against mass species extinction. While engaging in this conceptual, cosmological endeavour, comparative planetology seeks to become one of the navigational tools in plotting our way out of the impasse of modernity.Lukáš Likavčan is a researcher and theorist who writes on the philosophy of technology and political ecology. Concluding his PhD in environmental studies at Masaryk University, Brno, he now teaches at Centre for Audiovisual Studies at FAMU in Prague and Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture and Design in Moscow, a graduate of their experimental New Normal programme. As a researcher, he was based at Vienna University of Economics and Business, Hong Kong Polytechnic University and BAK – basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht. Oscillating between academic practice and a broad zone between art and design, he focuses on infrastructural conditions of subjectivity, abstraction and imagination. Likavčan just released a book Introduction to Comparative Planetology (2019, Strelka Press) that presents an analysis of visual cultures of imagining the Earth and the geopolitics of climate emergency.

Sonic Acts 2020: Lukáš Likavčan – Introduction to Comparative Planetology

Leonardo Dellanoce

Lukáš Likavčan and Leonardo Dellanoce speak about extinction, spectres and the game Death Stranding. They discuss how the future influences the present and how computer modelling fails to predict the Australian forest fires. This is the second episode of the Sonic Acts x Ja Ja Ja Nee Nee Nee podcast series on the occasion of Sonic Acts Academy 2020, taking place in Amsterdam 21 - 23 February.

Collaboration is at the core of his practice, as he works with artists, spatial designers and theorists on a variety of projects. Among others, he is co-leading the cross-disciplinary research project Vertical Atlas: a Techno-political Cartography, and co-curating Digital Earth, a 6 month research fellowship for artists and designers in Africa and Asia. Currently, he is also editor of Volume magazine where he initiated the long-term research project Trust in the Blockchain Society.
