Just did a presentation on this subject last week, really wish I came across this earlier. Steyerl's "In Free Fall" is also a great train of thought

A ver hablais español a veces? Yet Barcelona itself is an example, where thousands and thousands of Catalan people and even outsiders worship technology. Swear by technology promising greater better futures. Take for example Sonar Festival, as regressive in it's curation of electronic music, as progressive in it's vivid market capitalism of new technology. LOOP itself an example of the same culture, which has no concern about environment, overshoot, collapse and the biophysical limits.
