On Saturday 22 November, Cory Arcangel will join curator, researcher, and cultural organizer Margarita Osipian in conversation as part of Digital Cosmos, a two-day forum presented by the Hartwig Art Foundation at De Thomas, Amsterdam, exploring the role of art in the context of artificial intelligence and its global impact. Other speakers in the program include Yuk Hui, Nolan Oswald Dennis, Marina Otero, Benjamin Bratton, Thandi Loewenson, Metahaven, john gerrard, Holly Herndon, Xin Liu, Lukas Likavčan and more.

Digital Cosmos explores the current, unprecedented moment in time, in which artificial intelligence has diversified into a myriad of forms and applications, both inside our devices and in the world around us. It is evolving so rapidly that we might already be living in an ‘extended reality’, a cosmos of hybrid spaces and life forms. This extended reality is only possible because of a planetary network of supercomputers and countless data centers that store the digital remnants of human memory on which AI is trained, consuming vast amounts of energy and water.

This two-day event brings together visionary artists, thinkers, and technologists to collectively navigate the convergences of artificial intelligence, life and art and explore key questions: What happens when life, intelligence, and technology become indistinguishable? How do artistic practices engage with the ethical, social, and environmental implications of artificial intelligence? And when artificial worlds blossom and organic life crumbles, how can we nurture the web of life and shape the future of this increasingly digital cosmos?
