Here's the Situation(ist)

Ladies and gentlemen, the lovely Stephanie Murg.

Situationism is dead! Long live Situationism! Discuss amongst yourselves on Wednesday evening, when Columbia University’s Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture hosts “50 Years of Recuperation: What is Living and What is Dead in the Situationist International,” a lecture by McKenzie Wark, author of Gamer Theory and A Hacker’s Manifesto, among other discipline-transcending tomes.

You’ll recall that the revolutionary pranksters of the Situationist International (1957-1972) are to thank for seeding such concepts as psychogeography, unitary urbanism, and the society of the spectacle.
