One of Britain's most provocative artists, Jake Chapman, answers the question: Why is it easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism? The answer may lie in "accelerationism". Capitalism, it is argued, is breaking up society, humanity and our planet. Accelerationists hold that the only way forward is not to fight against the relentless technological progress and the cultural and political fragmentation that accompanies it, but to embrace it and ride the wave even faster, no matter where it takes us. This dynamic film focuses on the place where technology, capitalism and the climate crisis come together.
The film will also include a discussion with the filmmaker. The screening is part of the accompanying program for FLOTSAM & JETSAM by Jake Chapman.
