Lecture/Lecture Series Computer and Information Technology Institute Humanities Research Center Office of the Vice Provost and University Librarian Speaker: Richard Doyle Pennsylvania State University Technology, Cognition and Culture Lecture Series: Just say yes to the Noösphere: Psychedelics and the Evolution of Information Technologies Monday, October 9, 2006 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM McMurtry Auditorium Duncan Hall Rice University 6100 Main St Houston, Texas, USA Abstract: Before its possession became a criminal offense in the United States, the psychedelic compound LSD-25 was given to engineers and designers to break "creative logjams" and promote innovation in the Cold War United States. In the late 1950's and early 1960's, for example, the Ampex Corporation(inventor of the Video Tape Recorder) studied the effects of LSD on their engineers, and the result was a growing body of literature and data on psychedelic regimens and their effects on technical innovation. cohesion.rice.edu/services/.../index.cfm audio here> autopoiesis.livedigital.com/cont...4889/ more comments here from e-blips> Noösphere: Doyle on LSDNA & Tech-evolution Shaman Teknosis Online talk by Richard Doyle of LSDNA theory, so-called Self-Users of psYchedelics for science, like Hofmann, Crick, Leary, Huxley, Wasson, Watts, Masters & Houston, Grof, Lilly, Mullis, et. al. & etc. Mon., Oct. 9 (2PM PST). Doyle is one of a new generation & new genre of post-60’s, post-post-modern, cultural critics & theorists (Mark Dery, Mark Pesce, Manuel de Landa, Donna Haraway, N. Katherine Hayles, Lynn Margulis, Erik Davis, et.al.) often influenced by Gilles Deleuze, complexity theory, psybernetics, consciousness-expansion, difference theory, & mind manifestions…. These regimens included precise and intensive algorithms for psychedelic experience … although essentially ineffable, psychedelic experience was treated as fundamentally and essentially programmable. This talk will offer an historical, evolutionary and ecological framework for comprehending and evaluating recent claims by innovators such as Mitch Kapor (Lotus, spreadsheets), Mark Pesce (Virtual Reality Markup Language) and Kary Mullis (Polymerase Chain Reaction) that psychedelics played an integral role in the invention of their breakthrough information technologies. www.eblips.net/ - synthum , posted 10/09/06 |
