On this special edition of Content Minded, I cover the history, legacy,
theories, politics and imaginations around what was known as Kowloon
Walled city, or the "city of darkness" in the middle of Hong Kong until
it's demolition in the early 90s. I discuss it's significance in the
realm of political ideas, the concept of the living "megastructure",
it's aesthetic influence, the role of art as a form of anthropology, and
more importantly Kowloon as a model of internet space and digital
communities.
the paid version is over 3 hours and features a discussion of William
Gibson's science fiction writing that was inspired by Kowloon, as well
as discussions on juridical law and political philosophy as it relates
to Kowloon and the internet in the works of Frederic Jameson and Giorgio
Agamben. as well as a bonus talk on the accounts of Communism by a
Romanian priest. Subscribe today, starting at only $5 a month! To keep
this kino and nectar flowing.
