CfA artifices: deadline June 1st
artifices — 6th Ereignis Conference — sets out to examine artificial intelligence as alterity, desiring-machine, and symbolic force that reorganizes human subjectivity, labour, and planetary life. Drawing on philosophies from Levinas and Sartre to Lacan, Deleuze and Guattari, we question the natural/artificial binary and ask whether thinking machines represent radical ethical encounter or algorithmic reduction of the Other. Submit your proposal by June 1st.
