In this course
I cannot identify Becky Vartabedian from these excerpts—they appear to be footnote references to Badiou, Johnston, and Roden on ontology and posthumanism, but contain no clear mention of or argument by Vartabedian. It's possible the name appears only as a passing citation (perhaps as an editor, translator, or author of a brief comment) or the excerpts provided don't capture the relevant passage. Without clearer textual evidence of their contribution to the course's concerns with AI, cybernetics, and art-society intersections, I cannot write an accurate note.
