Á árunum 1978–1985 stóð Ted Kaczynski, fyrrum stærðfræðiprófessor, einsamall fyrir sprengjuherferð gegn fólki innan úr bandaríska tæknigeiranum; þrír létu lífið & 23 særðust.

Svarthol—cultural nothingness presents: The Net, Documentary by Lutz Dammbeck (2003)
English & German (with English subtitles), 115 minutes
Sunday March 15th 2020—8:00 p.m.
Andrými—Bergþórugata 20—101 Reykjavík
Free entrance—but feel free to donate a bit for Andrými’s rent
From 1978 to 1985, former math professor Ted Kaczynski ran a lone-wolf bombing campaign, targeting individuals from within the U.S. techno-industry—of whom three died & 23 were injured. Where does Kaczynski—who had turned his back to an academic career for a simple life in rural Montana—fit into a kaleidoscopic narrative, including the internet & terrorism, utopian politics & American counter-culture, LSD & CIA, psychologist Timothy Leary & physicist-philosopher Heinz von Förster, author Ken Kesey & psychedelic rock-group Grateful Dead?
In the mid-20th century, a network of thinkers came forth with new discoveries in science & technology, cybernetics & systems theory, multimedia art, psychology & military research—affecting all spheres of human life. With the development of the internet during the last quarter of the 20th century, the question arose: What does the unlimited development of information technology mean for nature & society? In his unorthodox & provocative documentary, Dammbeck examines this story—interweaving it with his & Kaczynski correspondence.
Eating Disorder Presentation and Discussion / Framsetning og Umræða um Átröskun / Presentación y Discusión sobre el Trastorno Alimentario
The presentation (in English) will explain the underlying cause of eating disorders, and will also discuss the diet industry and recovery. The main themes are science and oppressive forces. The presentation does not include personal stories or graphic images (there is a trigger warning for one slide with non-graphic, Instagram-type images).
The discussion will not be a personal story-share/support group, but you can find the host afterwards if you’d like to talk more about support.
This is open to people with and without eating disorders.
This event is not the place to invalidate people with eating disorders or argue with anti-diet information.
Accessibility:
There is a step before the garden gate and then 5 steps leading to the main entrance, each 17 cm high, door widths in the building vary between 50 cm (upstairs washroom door) and 80 cm (entrance door).
The bathrooms are so far only on the upper floor and in the basement. The door to the meeting room is 75 cm wide (as most other doors in the building). There is no bathroom on the ground floor.
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral. The event takes place on the ground floor.
