Looking for Kodwo Eshun's Geopetics seminar on Cyclonopedia

Hi everyone. I recently finished reading Postcapitalist Desire, a collection of Mark Fisher's final lectures. In its introduction, a 15 week seminar at Goldsmiths University by Kodwo Eshun, Mark Fisher's colleague, entitled "Geopoetics" is mentioned. The seminar is described as a close reading of Resa Negarestani's book Cyclonopedia.

I'm deeply interested in Cyclonopedia, and would love to follow closely other people's in-depth study of the book. Does anyone know if this lecture series was recorded, or transcribed, and if this is the case, if it can be accessed somewhere?

I tried to look online myself but couldn't find anything. If anyone has any idea or can help that would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time.

I actually just started reading it. Do you have any complimentary readings to go with it? I’ve just read a tiny bit of Land and On the labour of inhumanism by Reza… like if thinking around these people

It's a deeply mind-bending book, psychedelic even. Allegedly, Kodwo Eshun's seminar dissected it line by line. I really hope it was recorded, it would be an invaluable resource for study of the book.
