You guys are not from New Orleans and keep throwing it in our face, like, ‘Well, how do you feel about Hurricane Katrina?’ I f—king feel f—ked up. I have no f—king city or home to go to. My mother has no home, her people have no home, and their people have no home. Every f—king body has no home. So do I want to dedicate something to Hurricane Katrina? Yeah, tell that b—h to suck my d—k. That is my dedication." — Lil Wayne

Chance
Human culture has been a culture of chance all along. Around 1948, a new configuration of chance practices becomes operative, and high-quality (pseudo-)random numbers have become indispensable for simulating the design of nuclear weapons, calculating the future of human populations, and modeling the climate. How do we recognize the differences or similarities of these two forms of employing chance tools for making predictions?

A Visual Montage as Proxy
In his essay on the Anthropocene, Peter Sloterdijk contemplated whether we should be surprised by the ease with which this relatively recent discourse on the geological impact of humanity—which he provocatively called a “synthetic-semantic virus”—has “escaped” beyond the doors of geophysical scholarship into the realm of cultural production.
