Please join us at Swedenborg House on Thursday 12 December 7pm-8.30pm for 'The Longplayer Conversation 2024: Kate Briggs & Daisy Hildyard'.
It began playing at midnight on 31 December 1999, and was composed to play without repetition until the last moment of 2999, at which point it will complete its cycle and begin again.The Longplayer Conversation invites leading cultural and scientific voices to conduct a public discussion inspired by the work’s unique dramatization of time itself, and its kaleidoscopic resonances. This year, as Longplayer approaches the end of its first quarter century, Kate Briggs will be in conversation with Daisy Hildyard: two fiercely original authors working on the politics and poetics of the long form and the long term.
The evening also heralds the arrival of the much-anticipated issue 0.05 of the 'Swedenborg Review', featuring essays, photography, fiction, poetry and reviews from writers and artists, including Iain Sinclair, Avery Curran, Jarett Kobek, Sally O’Reilly and Hans Ulrich Obrist, amongst many others.
