In February, scientists formed a new field, called organoid intelligence (OI), which is now considered the next frontier of biocomputing. To meet AI's growing computational needs, there's a shift away from traditional Von Neumann architecture towards more innovative approaches. One is neuromorphic computing, inspired by the brain's structure, which

cognition is the result of information processing distributed across all cellular systems in the body, including the brain, which is, in our view, (part of) the body. Speaking about brain-body-environment interactions in constituting cognition may be misleading because it tacitly inherits the distinction between mind (brain) and body. Cognitive... See more

At IDFA DocLab in November 2023, MIT researchers explored how the

different forms of possible embodiment were being used by artists, and how

they had impact on audience experience and understanding. We wanted to

understand what strategies and tools artists are using, how these projects

are being received by audiences, and whether the knowledge communicated

or experience delivered is distinct from that shared by more traditional forms

of flat screen media.

Hope is vitalising. When it pulses, we aspire toward better futures and conspire with what we have and have been. In its absence, we often grow listless, even court despair. I thus want to defend hope, underscore what we gain... See more
