The ‘Talking Straight World Science Center’ explores the beginning of the phantasm of a hyper-flexible world network: a combination of financial theology, radical sensuality, and post-human politics. The TS Start-Up founding myth culminates in a simulation of the entire cosmos, which is made tangible for every individual through corporate science. Now is the time to destroy one’s own creation to make room for a new creation myth.
