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，邀请你加入时代战争——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。

Pony Express通过“时代战争”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去谈判自己在世界上的位置的方式？进入“时代战争”即是在提出：一个值得消逝在其中的未来叫什么？

*Free Admission

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.
