Summit03: «... And the Rest Were Those Nomads Who Found the Black Holes.»
Our approach to perceiving the world starts from our concept of the Earth, the geographical plateaus, and intensities that form our reality. In A Thousand Plateaus, Deleuze and Guattari expands on the meaning of territory and the forces that encode the earth into territories and decode them. The third edition of The Tehran Summit, titled «... And the Rest Were Those Nomads Who Found the Black Holes.», is dedicated to a state of in-betweenness; moving beyond set concepts of territories, disciplines, and dichotomies, and delving into the unknown.
Summit 03 will probe a geohistorical terrain where the anthropocenic concepts of history, chronology, and logical order is replaced by embracing a full spectrum of forces at play; human, non-human, organic, and inorganic all caught in the flux of creation and dissolution. In this narrative, space becomes not merely a backdrop for human production but a dynamic construction of relations where beings, materials, and non-definable forces converge, each contributing and complicit to an ever- evolving Chaosmos. In this geohistory, geological formations, climate upheavals, social turbulences, and economic shocks are all intersected, bridging deep time with human history and expanding our concepts of past events and latent futures.
The nomad here becomes an embodiment of a mindset that defies territorialized space, and static values, wielding the deleuzian war-machine against the state apparatus and its axioms. As agents of deterritorialization, the nomads embrace a rhizomatic, peripheral mode of thought/living that resists hierarchies, seeking lines of flight and new realities. Departing from this web of thoughts, Summit 03, will delve into entangled layers of geographies, histories, spaces, and time to map out new exits and potentials – those black holes where new desires and possibilities emerge.
