PREVIEW 126. Metadata, Geology, and Mormonism: American Utopian Experiments 2 - Ben Sang

After a short break to end last year’s run of shows we’re back with Ben Sang to talk Mormanism as a continuation of the American Utopia Series and the outgrowth of the offsite art movement in 2022. We go into the history of the Plutonist vs. Neptunist school of geology/volcanology and the life of Dolamieau, international playboy and geologist who inspired the blacksploitation movie Dolomite and was a member of Knights of Malta. Other topics: Archival Art, Nicholas Luhmen's Cybernetic Theory, Angel Maroni, Golden Plates, metadata, library arts and the structure of Memory, Maurice and Katya Krafft, Nancy Holt, Final Hot Desert, the utopia of Deseret and how all of this relates to this Very Weird moment we find ourselves in today.
