The Acid Horizon crew are joined by artist and theorist Ian Alan Paul to discuss his essay “Are Prisons Computers?” in which he argues for a cybernetic and digital understanding of prisons and policing. Part of this digital framework also calls for a re-evaluation of the distinction between discipline and control in Deleuze and Foucault at the same time as it calls for a return to the work of the Prison Information Group, taking prisoner revolts as models for new insurrectionary techniques and new weapons for destituent escape.
