Conference: Extractive Media
As “extractivism” has intensified, some see it as defining the current stage of capitalism. Driven by massive autonomous extraction machines, disseminated through algorithmically organized logistical systems, extraction both depends on media systems and provides the minerals that make digital machines possible. This conference will examine the interaction of extraction, capitalism, and media.

The Clock 24-Hour Viewing
Encapsulating 100 years of moving-image history, Christian Marclay’s The Clock (2010) is a 24-hour montage composed of thousands of film and television clips depicting clocks and other references to time.

MoMA, Floor 2, 212, 53rd Street, NY 10019
James Bond checks his watch at 12:20 a.m.; Meryl Streep turns off an alarm clock at 6:30 a.m.; a pocket watch ticks at 11:53 a.m. as the Titanic departs. With each clip synchronized to the local time, The Clock collapses the fictional time presented on screen with the actual time of each passing minute. The work is both a cinematic tour-de-force and a functioning timepiece.
