Worldism: On AI, egregores, and machines that bleed

An artist talk by Gary Zhexi Zhang whose works explore systemic connections between cosmology, technology and economy.

This talk examines identity and individuation in the economy of digital life, beginning with the bodies of parasocial, transindividual agency that populate the internet we have come to know, and into the time of artificial intelligences that meet humans at the threshold of their own incomprehensibility.

What forms of subjectivity emerge from the pandemonium of cognitive assemblages, generative realities and artificial agents LARPing as humans as well as machines?

Drawing on techno-cultural histories and contemporary developments, Gary Zhexi Zhang explores the predicaments of neural media.
