In today’s society, people’s decisions, emotions and everyday movements are being tracked through the algorithmic landscape of the technological giants. This information is key in the economic and social climate of the digital age, profiling predictions around consumer habits, online consumption and behaviour.
Cognitive Sensations delve a little deeper into the future of these engagements, drawing upon the central interface of this story, the brain. ‘The Downloadable Brain’ is a programme that examines the biological connection between humans and technology, focussing on three technological goals:
1) To build a machine that can think for itself.
2) To create a technological copy of a human.
3) To read a person’s thoughts through their brain data.
The conditions and rules for this digital future have yet to be determined, yet the relationship between human and AI draws increasingly closer. Progression in BCI and neural-lace technology enable human thoughts to be read and stored by machines, and, in turn, humans can nudge screen activity through the power of their thoughts alone. What can we expect as brain-reading technology becomes increasingly embedded within society?
How will emotion tracking technologies integrate into everyday life, and what does this mean for the human body? Exploring the bio-sensing world and research behind their new artwork machine-in-the-middle, Rod Dickinson and Nathan Semetzidis reveal their thoughts in this exclusive interview.
In the course of the pandemic, the dimensions of everyday life became restructured. Domestic and public space shrank, whilst our virtual worlds opened. How can exhibition design and online art help us connect with our environments, and redefine personal space?
On our final journey, Frodlaw Anele demonstrates a series of technological items found in the future. Visit this video artwork as the final chapter in this series to transform your imagination of the sort of objects we might found ourselves using in everyday life.
Frodlaw Anele helps us prepare for yet another special trip. Demonstrating the essential technological items that will enhance her human cognitive and bodily potential, Anele presents her new object series discovered on a journey to the past, reimagined for the future.
HYPERREAALIYAH’s video work proposes a vision of a distributed consciousness called Skeedari, emerging out of the data megastructure of cyberspace. Can this speculative being disrupt our understanding of mind, and its relationship with technology?
Enter The New Herulians’ portal and discover the Magic Sphere of Helios, a magical orb that with a touch of a finger, will download your thoughts, sensations and desires.
Beyond Biology: Robots, Telepathy and Artificial Brains was a multidisciplinary panel discussion exploring the rise of sentient machines. In this article we share our key takeaways about the social future of humanity in a technological world.
A video artwork exploring the technological objects of our future, and their growing relationship and integration with the body. In part one of three in this artwork series, take a trip with our futuristic guide Frodlaw Anele as she navigates through time and space to explore the devices of our future.
William Dreams explores the biological and practical potential of brain implants. In this near future, humans and artificial intelligence combine cognitive abilities, using the altered state of dreaming to organise smart cities.
Connect the neurons of our artificial brain. For the duration of The Downloadable Brain season we invite audiences to contribute to Sarah Selby’s living artwork, which transforms and develops through machine learning technology. Make sure you visit at a later date to watch it change throughout the programme.
