Absolute Zeitgeist - Issue A

‘Absolute Zeitgeist’ is an open source curatorial magazine capturing the themes and elements that shape our present. Simultaneously, it entails an editorial experiment attempting to visualise a collective sense of time. A different curator will be invited to oversee each edition, and this inaugural issue launches with the collaboration of Amsterdam-based futurist and scholar Tessa Cramer. Her approach to her work currently focuses in large part on accepting, even embracing, notions of uncertainty, which she applies to the issue’s theme: “A is for Action”. She reflects on what action is, on action as movement, and how it impacts the world we live in. Is it action or inaction?
