Trust & Technical Debt belongs to the work series State of Affairs; an ongoing series of performance lectures, departing from current phenomena and events that are contextualized by thoughts and ideas generated by Lundgrens research project Performing Resistance. State of Affairs consists in spoken text, images, music and gestures and operates with the associative linking of concepts and theories to create new political perspectives. Trust & Technical Debt discusses collapsing social structures, Cottier's Syndrome and the extent to which faith in present day society can be maintained. Furthermore, it summons Milton Friedman from the dead to talk things over.
