A Time Panorama. Unpacking ‘Calculating Empires’ is an unusually long exhibition review I wrote for NECSUS, on Kate Crawford and Vladan Joler’s Calculating Empires: A Genealogy of Technology and Power, 1500-2025 at Osservatorio Prada in Milan. Sometimes writing about something helps you to see it better – this is what happened to me with this text.
