General Ludd in the Long Seventies – a review of Matt Tierney’s “Dismantlings” | LibrarianShipwreck
a review of Matt Tierney’s Dismantlings, a book seen as “a vital contribution to attempts to theorize what Luddism might mean, and how we are to confront the various technological challenges facing us today.” The book is focused on the “long seventies” (1965 to 1980) and looks at the work of Marshall McLuhan, Buckminster Fuller, Norbert Wiener, and Stewart Brand, but also Ursula Le Guin and Samuel Delany. It’s kind of fascinating, and more than a bit depressing, that some of the thinking from back then was already talking about technology alongside decolonization, sexual and gender autonomy, and racial justice. One might think we’d have gotten further ahead by now but on the contrary, we seem to have gotten closer to what the “Ludditeish” thinkers of the late seventies were worried about.

This series of lithographs, printed at Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles, was inspired by the launch of spaceflight Apollo 11, to which Rauschenberg was invited to attend. The imagery was derived from photographs supplied by NASA, as well as drawings made directly on the lithography stones by the artist using water-based tusche and crayon.
