JAMES BRIDLE: THERE IS NO PLACE WHICH DOES NOT SEE YOU

Keynote lecture

Screening Room | Mezzanine

What is intelligence? How do self-driving cars, gibbons, and fungi, understand the world? How does understanding the intelligence of others, change us in turn? James Bridle explores how we think about AI, animals, and plants, and asks how we can all work together for a more just and equal world of mutual flourishing.

James Bridle is a writer, artist and technologist.  They are the author of New Dark Age: Technology and the End of the Future published by Verso (2018). Their most recent book Ways of Being (2022), published by Penguin Books (UK) and by Farrar, Strauss, Giroux (US) is about AI, non-human intelligence, ecology, biological computing, more-than-human relations, and much else. According to the Washington Post: “In this book, Bridle has created a new way of thinking about our world, about being. How would we live our lives and change our world if we embraced this thinking? If we did not place ourselves at the center of everything? Please read this important book. Read it twice. Talk about it. Tell everyone you know.”

Their artworks have been commissioned by galleries and institutions and exhibited worldwide and on the internet. Their writing has appeared in magazines and newspapers including Wired, the Atlantic, the New Statesman, the Guardian, and the Financial Times.
