So London is for one of the Being Ecological launch events, at the LRB bookshop. They told me they were sold out weeks ago but you might get lucky... Then Reykjavik at the very beginning of February.

Thanks Jaron and all the amazing people who showed up. 200 I think! 150 in the room and 50 in the corridor! It was fantastic. Timothy Morton - 'Hacia un ministerio del futuro' from BAU, Centre Universitari Disseny on Vimeo .

It's The Forum of the Future and I'm going to be doing a thing with brilliant filmmaker Ben Rivers.

So many things happening: lecture by me, rooms I designed etc etc etc  because this ladies and gentlemen is the first hyperobjects exhibition on the planet Recognize the title?

Twenty-one. That's not the record, which is 31. Not yet. I'm tackling all my work piece by piece at present, which is the most comfortable way if you're doing such a variety of stuff as well as such an amount. I have a feeling though that by the end of December, I will have done a bit less than last year,  which was 29.

I'm going to be giving a little lecture at the Kunstlerhaus Bethianen today at 6pm. It's very important that we keep our imagination, which is our capacity to open the future, awake, at a time at which the urge to collapse into the fetal position is high. I think there's some art out there that you need inside of you, and we're going to be exploring that from inside some of it, because this is an installation of tremendous power and eloquence called Mirror Matter, by Emilija Škarnulytė.

It's a thing by me about global warming and how to live it ...it's in Shoreditch. Should be really fun!

Maybe 500 people coming at present...

...wow, the title is such perfect timing for  Humankind : “ Guest, Ghost, Host, Machine ”?! They could have been chapter titles! London, October 7! The description is ace: The 2017 Marathon brings together artists, scientists, activists, engineers, poets, sociologists, philosophers, filmmakers, writers, anthropologists, theologians and musicians to consider the advent of ‘artificial intelligence’, consciousness, interspecies cooperation, machines, trans-humanism and non-linear time.

Stockholm next week for a landscape architecture organization. Week after that, London. I'm talking with Penguin about my stuff (wow they're so professional, they're for real and there's a reason why they're the best), and doing a thing for the band Test Dept. and something for Hans Ulrich Obrist's 2017 marathon at the Serpentine. Those things are on Saturday. And I'm doing a lecture on global warming and morality and politics and stuff. Details to follow!

...in dialogue with Federico Campagna on the subject of my book Humankind . At 7pm.

I'll be "in" (via Skype) Emilija Skarnulyte's new installation at Decad. Not quite sure of the time, I think 7pm Berlin time. If you haven't looked her up already, do so immediately. Everything she does embodies why I think art is beyond important and in particular articulates an incredibly beautiful and powerful ecological feminist post-humanism. But that's just the conceptual aspect. Skarnulyte is committed to making unbelievably precise and gorgeous objects (visual, sonic...) and is a true powerful film maker, the kind who is ready to climb into a gigantic radio telescope dish or become a mermaid and swim in freezing arctic water with a nuclear sub. I was just at this incredible film symposium in Lithuania and it convinced me that  I totally love film and filmmaking for this and many other reasons. Just days of liquid light pouring out of a gigantic screen and people ready to put their bodies in jeopardy in acts of solidarity with human and nonhuman beings....

The lovely imaginative group that put this together fantastically lit the path into the forest in the park.

...at the Serpentine in London, right after Genesis P-Orridge, whose psychedelic visuals are here by dint of special effects.

Yeah...That. Was. Good.

Beautifully paired by Hans-Ulrich Obrist with Kathelin Gray and Genesis P-Orridge.

At the Inter-University Center for Dance .

On January 28th in the morning , at a theater and performance conference! I'll be detailing a theory of action I've been working out for my book for Verso, Humankind .

UPDATE: 27 essays! Some of these I had totally forgotten until this morning lol, because I've been so busy. I realized this was the second most intense year for lectures. I did 27. 2012 was the most intense, with 31. And I published 25 essays; 2015 was the most intense but only just (26). And I finished 2 books, accumulated 350 000 air miles, taught 5 classes (one extra), regular Ph.D students and regular university business. No wonder I've been doing a lot of resting in the last few days. Actually I have no idea whether 25 is the final essay tally. I've been so busy that today and yesterday I found out that I'd completely forgotten about two of them! So I'm uploading quite a few versions of recent essays to academia.edu if you're interested.
