Peter K. Haff (Nicholas School of the Environment, Duke University, Durham) and Erich Hörl (Institut für Kultur und Ästhetik Digitaler Medien, Leuphana Universität, Lüneburg)

This conversation revolves around the different epistemic ways of assessing the agency of technology, technology seen here as multi-scalar system affecting and transforming both environment and theory. The “Technosphere,” a term put forward by the geomorphologist Peter K. Haff, is the quasi-autonomous system of energy-metabolizing technologies that acts itself as a geological agent. Meanwhile, his dialogue partner Erich Hörl ascertains a third stage of cybernetics, “neocybernetics,” as a general mode of “ecologizing” the coupling between human and technology. How do the modes of measuring and modelling, as well as those of describing and historicizing, inform our view of the transformative power of technology?

Good to see this technosphere concept is getting the attention it deserves.
