BERNARD STIEGLER: A MANIFESTO
The 2018 Work Marathon will invite artists, sociologists, anthropologists, writers,
musicians, architects, scientists and philosophers to address cultural, political, physical
and environmental debates on the complex and timely question of work, labour,
automation and leisure.
This year, the Work Marathon is conceived in collaboration with Professor Bernard Stiegler who
will gather experts from around the world to consider economics for an age of
planetary-scale environmental crisis, looking to reduce the human footprint on the
planet and reverse the phenomenon of entropy that follows. With Stiegler’s advice, the
2018 Serpentine Marathon has the goal of contributing to the writing of a manifesto, the
first version of which will be issued on 23 September, and the definitive version of which
will be sent to the United Nations, in Geneva, on 10 January 2020 – the day of the
centenary anniversary of the League of Nations.
