Like a thread, colonialism twists and coils in multiple directions rather than moving forwards in time. Untangling the colonial temporality of post-Soviet space through notions of linearity, latency, recursion, and duration, Distributed Cognition Cooperative look beyond clichéd representations of ruins in which time has seemingly stopped. In this performative lecture, they explore how futurist imaginaries of Soviet space exploration and industrialisation inflict Russian colonial violence on sovereign nations. Exercised through monstrous logistical infrastructures, occasionally malfunctioning weapons, proxy militaries, and cyberwar tactics, Russian colonial wars span generations and subject their targets to repeated cycles of fear and violence. As the dead of one war haunt the dead of another, Distributed Cognition Cooperative think about how to welcome the finitude and amplify the obsolescence of colonial regimes.
