interview

Scott Rettberg and Mathias Klang discuss the panopticon of surveillance and our problematic relationship with the devices that make our lives easier — while also eroding our privacy.

Rettberg and Rettberg discuss Jill's new book on machine vision and, in doing so, cover the mythological origins of surveillance, cybersemniotics, and the role of fear in the technologization of Western society.

Jhave and Scott Rettberg explore the bright side of AI, the revolutionary advancements in creativity and medicine, while trying not to be consumed by the crushing dark side, the "precarious potential for extinction."

In Off Center Episode 12, Scott Rettberg talks to game designer, academic, and author Doris Rusch about making games with meaning, existentialist psychotherapy, the resurgence of text-based games online, and embodiment: "Let’s talk about Zombie Yoga."
