Sorry about the sound quality. This was done in the Fine Arts Academy in Munich as part of the Hybrid Ecologies series. Thanks to my wonderful hosts there, especially Susanne Witzgall and Maria Muhle.

Simultaneous Korean translation! Wow. This was part of an electronic music festival in Seoul run by Hankil Ryu, called Continuous Verb. It was at MMCA, the contemporary art museum, and it was on October 29.

Now this is cool. Yale archived this architecture conference so well, and this is one of the panels. Along with me you'll hear Keller Easterling and Catherine Ingraham, and there's a really excellent dialogue and q&a afterwards. Loved it. Thank you thank you thank you to Mark Foster Gage for organizing this happy occasion.

This was a lecture I gave in Singapore at the Future Cities conference, Singapore, September 14, 2016. Some engineers might have been upset by how I characterized science (quite accurately), because one of them, a really heavy spokesperson for neoliberalism, had a bit of a go at me the next day. He expressed, in front of several people, concern that my job was funded by taxpayer money. I think in part that was because I told him quite honestly that I hadn't paid attention when he said something about me in his paper. It was one of those moments when you could say something witty and cutting but you just feel so relaxed and happy, nothing is bothering you. The conference was about urban planning and I think I was there to provide a different perspective than the usual efficiency and “sustainability” talk. Thanks so much to Stephen Cairns, whose voice you'll hear.

Oh dear this was a real tragedy. The q&a for this lecture at York University in Canada on May 19 was the best best best of the whole year. But as you'll hear, my battery ran out a little way into my lecture. It gives you a good idea of the outline of my book for Verso, however. And you'll hear Marcus Boon, who's awesome, and Sabrina Scott cheering (and she is also awesome). I've spent months and months reconstructing that q&a in my head in order to write my book...

This is a q&a concerning my paper given at the Cultures of Energy annual seminar at Rice University on April 22, 2016. You'll hear various voices including that of Dominic Boyer, the anthropologist.

This was part of the wonderful Marfa Dialogues presented by Ballroom Marfa at the Museum of Fine Art in Houston on March 26, 2016. Thanks so much to the whole Ballroom crew and in particular, Susan Sutton and Laura Copelin. You are so so so good. You'll also hear Mandy Barker , whose photographs I was really really keen to talk about. I said they looked like the covers of some of the later Cocteau Twins albums (in particular Four Calendar Café), then she told me she'd worked for 4AD!!! Then we played Rachel Rose's Sitting Feeding Sleeping, one of the most powerful ecological awareness films I've ever seen, ever.
