"What happens to creativity when it is no longer bound to a living body?
Situated within debates around human agency and generative AI, Revivification attempts to posthumously extend the artistic life of experimental composer Alvin Lucier (1931-2021). Departing earth at the age of 90, his donated biological material becomes the basis of a living system – a new kind of biological performer that continues his artistic and cellular journey."

"Ars Biologica is a living laboratory for shared ecological futures – an experimental space where art and science meet to explore ways of caring for the world we live in.
The ArtXScience residency is one part of the Ars Biologica project, a key pillar of České Budějovice – European Capital of Culture 2028. The aim is to explore how art and science can collaborate to address urgent environmental challenges, with a special focus on climate emergence, sustainable agriculture, geoengineering, permaculture, water resource management, and the broader ecological impacts on local communities."

We are looking for artistic proposals for (1) a spatial ArtXScience artwork that goes beyond screen-based explorations and (2) public engagement formats involving the local community connected to t…

Noema è media partner di questa iniziativa.
"Temi globali come cambiamenti climatici, transizione energetica, intelligenza artificiale riguardano da vicino le nostre vite e richiedono consapevolezza, spirito critico e capacità di districarsi tra le innumerevoli informazioni che abbiamo a disposizione. Oggi più che mai la comunicazione scientifica deve riuscire a essere chiara e accessibile e fornire oltre alle conoscenze gli strumenti per orientarsi.
Per rispondere a questa sfida, “F***e di Scienza – Strambinaria” raduna a Strambino la comunità delle divulgatrici e dei divulgatori scientifici italiani, che si ritrovano per scambiare idee, esperienze e buone pratiche, per poi mettersi in gioco di fronte al pubblico. È diventato un punto di riferimento per la divulgazione in Italia. Giunto quest’anno alla nona edizione, vedrà la partecipazione di oltre 200 professioniste e professionisti, confermandosi punto di riferimento per la divulgazione in Italia."

A new article by Rob van Kranenburg, "Disclosure"
https://noemalab.eu/ideas/disclosure/
"IoT is the best basis, not objective, not neutral for active decision making for ‘now’ and factoring in the repercussions of that act in ten years time. I too end on pragmatic cybernetics as the only form of governance that will keep us from ‘total breakdown of society because of the inability of the state to deal with the digital’."

Noema's Call for Papers "The Wound of the Possible. Art, Futurity, and Non-Human Agency" is open! Link in the first comment.
"We invite to reflect on the relationship between art and futurity in all its complexity, including its post-anthropocentric dimensions. We are interested in art that anticipates, interprets, and imagines, but also in art that resists and keeps open the wound of the possible against the pressure of the inevitable. We are interested in the aesthetics of survival and the poetics of catastrophe, in the archive as a form of construction of the future and the algorithm as aesthetic agent. We are interested in voices from the margins of the dominant technocultural imaginary, and in the stubborn and necessary work of imagining otherwise."

In Noema a new test by Leonel Moura
"Sapiens-AI is not a future possibility, a technological project or a speculative fiction. It already inhabits the present, though largely unnamed and unrecognized. Previous centuries witnessed the emergence of new social classes, new political subjects and new forms of consciousness. Our century witnesses the emergence of a new cognitive being. We are not witnessing the arrival of a new technology. We are witnessing the emergence of a new condition of existence."
