我们应该怎样称呼现在的地质时代？Pony Express与一群艺术家、思想家和生态愿景者合作，邀请你加入Epoch Wars —— 一项围绕命名地球下一个时代的激烈辩论而提出的干预性行动。

Epcoh Wars回应了有关命名“人类世”时代的论述。“人类世” -- 人类的近世纪 -- 被认为是由人类作为一种地质力量而定义的地球历史时代。2020年，一个小型人类联盟将提交“人类世”一词，以期在第36届国际地质大会上获得正式纳入化石记录的批准。“人类世”作为一种表达当今焦虑和恐怖的方式而在艺术、学术界和新闻界广受欢迎，但付出了什么代价呢？

Pony Express通过“Epoch Wars”颠覆了地质命名的过程，替代性地强调声音和视觉来命名我们的时代。谁将有资格或不具备资格来代表下一个10,000代做出决定？时代的名称如何影响我们协商自己在世界中处境的方式？进入Epoch Wars即是提出：如何称呼一个值得消逝在其中的未来？

CAC Presents | Epoch Wars

Speaker:
Pony Express

Date:
2019.10.27 (Sunday)

Time:
2:00 - 4:00

Venue:
Chronus Art Center, Building 18, No.50 Moganshan Road, Shanghai

What should we be calling our present geological age? Working with communities of artists, thinkers, and ecological visionaries, Pony Express invite you to join the Epoch Wars, a proposed intervention into the heated debate currently unfolding around what to name Earth's next era.

Epoch Wars responds to the discourse around the naming of the so-called “Anthropocene” epoch. The word ‘Anthropocene’, the human-recent era, is understood to mean the age of Earth’s history defined by humankind as a geological force. In 2020, the word ‘Anthropocene’ will be submitted by a small coalition for approval at the 36th International Geological Congress on its way towards formal adoption into the fossil record. ‘Anthropocene’ has gained popularity across the arts, academia, and journalism as a way to articulate the anxieties and horrors of our present day – but at what cost?

With Epoch Wars, Pony Express are subverting the process of geological nomenclature to highlight alternative voices and visions for the naming our era. Who is and isn't invited to the table when making a decision on behalf of the next 10,000 generations? How does the name of our era impact the way we negotiate our place in the world? To enter the Epoch Wars is to ask: what is the name of a future worth dying in?

About the Speaker

Pony Express is an experimental, Live Art duo led by Ian Sinclair and Loren Kronemyer. Through their pandrogynous collaborative process, Pony Express work across platforms of media art, performance, video and transdisciplinary research, creating immersive alternate realities that reflect themes of adaptation, global weirding and the slow apocalypse. They present their work in a diverse array of traditional and non-traditional venues, cooperating with communities, organisations and subcultures at the forefront of environmental futures. The duo focus on queer ecologies and nonhuman politics to build worlds that trouble the ethical landscape of the present day.
