A screening of Manuel DeLanda's film Continuous Variation.
DeLanda holds the Gilles Deleuze Chair of Contemporary Philosophy and Science at The European Graduate School / EGS and is a lecturer in Architecture at Princeton University. He is best described as a theorist and is considered one of the most creative and thought-proving thinkers in Anglo-American academia. DeLanda began his practice as an artist, working first in film, then digital media, including software design and programming, before developing his work in theory and philosophy. His theoretical and philosophical background, and influence, is primarily based in, and derived from, a fusion of the work of Jean Baudrillard and Gilles Deleuze. DeLanda is probably best known for his current research on the effects of architecture, or the city more generally, and his materialist studies in history and science.
