The workshop will consider how the arts engage technological innovation and collective intelligences to enable predictive agency and transdisciplinary encounter. This workshop will introduce the work of anticipate.network, an open transdisciplinary group that supports concrete collective intelligence design activities through collaborative research and explores use cases that highlight and resonate across the dynamics of collaborative creation, and evaluate outcomes in relation to multiple scales of value.
The workshop will consider:
– how technological changes embed us in human-machine-collectives of unprecedented scale – how we can comprehend and co-design such embeddedness through the “not-yet-disciplinary” cultures of experimental research and their anticipatory what-if-power
– how by working together, we can develop new ways of engaging in fore-sighting activities on all levels of generative engagement.
– how by complementing the powerful-yet-narrow vision of technology-centered predictive analytics, the multiple registers of anticipation can facilitate both forecasting and foresighting
– how members of the network can support each other in engaging with contexts and conditions that inform and structure their own work locally and translocally
