AI saturates the world around us at an unprecedented and intoxicating speed and scale. Even if we abstain from using the technology directly, we are nonetheless immersed in its outputs, conditioned by realtime feedback loops and algorithmic flows. This talk frames AI as a hyper-pharmakon, at once medicine and poison, and asks how artists might find the right dose: using it critically, selectively, even adversarially, without succumbing to an overdose.
Dann Disciglio (b. 1993) is a transdisciplinary artist who explores notions of naturalism, intelligence, & vitality in biological and abiological systems. Disciglio works with technology, broadly, as both a tool and a material, appropriating and amalgamating discrete components to develop unique technological systems that function as interfaces and prostheses which make his audience attentive to perspectives, vital signals, and temporalities which are normally humanly inaccessible. Disciglio is currently a Visiting Professor of Art & Technology at Lewis & Clark College, where he also serves as the co-direct and curator of the Experimental Art Research (EAR) Forest.
