Cyborg – 2015
This session challenges the creativity from artists and designers point of view and explores the ways in which humans have started to co-create and re-define themselves through the evolution from Homo sapience into Cyborgs via use of additional components added for the purpose of adapting to the new Internet environment.
Session description
The Cyborgs exist, they proliferate the social sphere and manifest their self trough intelligence explosion beyond our biological understanding. The proponents of the Singularity promise immortality whilst it's critiques are warning of the possible dangerous scenarios for our humanity. The proposed approach here is that we would create a Cyborg that uses its intelligence to learn what we value, and its motivation system is constructed in such a way that it is motivated to pursue our values or to perform actions that it predicts we would approve of in the future .
Can we regulate our creativity?
Perhaps, if we are not careful what we create and share on the web one day could become a living nightmare in reality.
