Geoffrey Hinton: “Well, let me tell you why I think (AI) it’s superior. It’s digital. And because it’s digital, you can simulate a neural network on one piece of hardware. And you can simulate the same neural network on a different piece of hardware. So you can have clones of the same intelligence…” […] When…

Serralves, numa encruzilhada
Desde a direção de Vicente Todolí, o Museu de Serralves optou até hoje por se definir como parte de uma rede internacional de museus focada na chamada ‘arte contemporânea’. Mais precisamente, equilibrando a apresentação de artistas ‘contemporâneos’ e ‘pós-modernos’ com elevada exposição pública internacional e reconhecimento crítico amplo. Em coerência com esta direção, exibiu também,…

Democracy Maps — cognitive art with a civic skeleton
In an ideal world, democracy accepts certain limits on freedom, while liberty remains vigilant against democracy’s discreet tendency toward absolute power. Democracy Maps (©ACP, 2012 – ) is a minimal civic skeleton that links data, deliberation, and culture to make better public decisions — while keeping the creative and scientific process offstage for now.

I hate it. I love it. The Holy Shroud syndrome of Western Art in Berlinde De Bruyckere’s work
‘I want to show how helpless a body can be’ — Berlinde De Bruyckere. I find most Catholic religious art attached to various moods of sadomasochism. Stations of the Cross itself is an atrocious narrative. Most Counter-Reformist art exhibits this permanent trauma associated with the Roman Church in multiple ways, both in painting and in…

I placed it in a section called ‘Hyperobjects.’ Allan Sekula and Noel Burch wrote the following texts for their essay film, The Forgotten Space. Both deserve to be in the Parliament…
