Veranstaltungsdetails
Dialogical tour of the exhibition «Other Intelligences» as part of the «Mittwoch-Matinée» of the Museums Basel.
The artists involved are investigating what intelligence can be in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) and what other forms of nonhuman intelligence could be relevant in forging our future. They explore how the synthetic brain of an artificial intelligence operates or how organisms from the animal and plant world sense and act, and what we can learn from other such intelligences.
So, what do ChatGPT and the rainforest have in common? Both are currently much discussed social issues. They represent the two areas, namely AI and the climate crisis, whose development will have a radical impact on the future of humanity. They are also representatives of two different, non-human systems of intelligence. In the exhibition we are seeking to examine both these aspects of non-human intelligence, as understanding of and empathy for other forms of intelligence are becoming the most important survival strategies for our species.
During the tour we will give an overview of the exhibition. The coffee break will be used to discuss and deepen specific questions with the facilitator.
The tour and discussion will take place in German.Participation in the guided tour does not require advance booking. Tickets can be purchased on site.
