Join us at e-flux on Thursday, March 23 at 7pm for a conversation between philosopher Yuk Hui and art critic Barry Schwabsky.
In light of current discourses on AI and robotics, what do the various experiences of art contribute to the rethinking of technology today?
In his recent book Art and Cosmotechnics (e-flux Books and University of Minnesota Press, 2021), Yuk Hui addresses the challenge of technology to the existence of art and traditional thought. Thinking art and cosmotechnics together is an attempt to ask what various experiences of art might contribute to the rethinking of technology today. Charting a course through Greek tragic thought, cybernetic logic, and the aesthetics of Chinese landscape painting (山水, shanshui—mountain and water painting), and departing from Hegel’s thesis on the end of art and Heidegger’s assertion of the end of philosophy, Art and Cosmotechnics travels an unfamiliar trajectory of thought to arrive at a new relation between art and technology.
