With Douglas Rushkof

Doors 7:00PM · Show 7:30PM

A cross between a poetry slam and a colloquium, the Mic Check is CX’s version of the Algonquin Roundtable. Rant as performance.

YOU are the presenter. Do you have an argument, idea, modality, opinion, or meme to share? Perhaps a thesis about the Brat Summer meme, the possibility or impossibility of retrieving indigenous agriculture, the fascist origins of Elon Musk’s philosophy, or the hidden truth about UFOs? These are just some of the kinds of presentations we’re hoping to see. 

Please email jessica@cllctv.com if you’d like to give a 10-minute or under presentation. Powerpoints are most welcome, but not required. We’re hoping to develop a “genre" for these rants over time, but for now anything goes. If there’s time, we’ll also be inviting volunteers from the audience. 

Douglas Rushkoff is CX Scholar-in-Residence, the author of more than 20 books on media and society, and host of the Team Human podcast recorded live at the CX every month.
