Augmented Minds and the Incomputable

Public Program


“Augmented Minds and the Incomputable” interweaves the exhibition’s generative topics, examining the spectrum of the extended mind and challenging the structural divisions imposed upon corporeal, technological, and spiritual intelligence. This program invites philosophers, system thinkers, and researchers to discuss shamanism, cosmotechnics, neuroscience, and digital labor in relation with Korea’s visual cultures and communal trauma. The three sessions explore non-hierarchical approaches to replenish the body-mind during this time of massive suffering and mobilize plural and coeval conditions of being and belonging.

“Metabolic States of Intelligence” inquires into machine intelligence and the extended mind explored through philosophical and ethical implications of algorithmically generated information feeds as learning and coping mechanisms today. Technology researcher and writer Maya Indira Ganesh examines the poetics and politics of AI metaphors and asks from where and how new metaphors might arise. Philosopher Matteo Pasquinelli discusses his research around the plurality of knowledge models in the age of “monotheistic” AI. Biennale participant and choreographer Dmitry Paranyushkin introduces the idea of dynamic diversity through networked mapping and corporeal techniques while centralizing characteristics of immunity and resilience today.
