ar·ti·fi·ci·al·i·ty brings together speakers who help us explore ideas of construction, environment, craft, and of each other. While debates on AI predominantly focus on metaphors related to cognition and “intelligence” — learning, prediction, generation, etc. — less attention is given to the assumptions on what is artificial (and therefore, what is “natural”). These talks explore these assumptions and the ways in which they shape our approach to the built environment.

The Spring Lecture series is curated by faculty members Jesse LeCavalier (LeCavalier R+D) and Florian Idenburg (SO – IL).

All lectures are free, open to the public, and start at 7 p.m.

Registration is required.
