Thinking with My Disembodied Brain
The digital environment gets severely difficult to survive since the incredibly powerful algorithms are taking over. Our databodies that are formed of millions of bits are more and more endangered since our care for them isn’t part of our culture yet. The pandemonic AI delirium where everything in our connected life is going to be processed, is offering an odd picture of the world where nobody and nothing will be excluded. But do we want to live in a world where binary digital realm connected with ubiquitous sensors will shape our physical world so profoundly and so predictable? Can we think instead about our digital self emancipated from machines and embody biocomputability of non-human living systems?
