In this Assembly, we aim to disrupt notions of time that draw a line between subjective, personal time and objective, public time. Capitalist societies have long pushed its inhabitants to comply to notions of rigid yet simultaneously intangible public time as mechanisms of social organization. However, in the face of impending, dramatic environment disaster/change, unclear what the “timeline” of earth was or will be, the materiality and malleability of time is clearer than ever. This existential panic provides provides fertile ground to see the ways in which communities are attempting to build time together. Inspired by posthumanist theorists such as Karen Barad, we embrace time as a material, resource, and object that comes to be, as all objects do, through intra-acting agencies. We would like to explore time in the Anthropocene together through discussion and through filmmaking. We believe that collaboratively using analog film as a group will be exciting and appropriate, as it will force us to reckon with time in its most material art form-film: as a finite, collaborative, and imaginative resource. We hope to explore many pockets of Los Angeles, filming and tying together subjects such as environment change, astrology, tarot, diverse futurologies, science fiction, and speculations all together through this very open-ended project.

GOAL: Create a 5-10 minute analog film.

IDEAL NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS: 10-15
