商品描述

Conceptual artist Agnieszka Kurant's work alongside newly commissioned texts by renowned thinkers across science, philosophy, technology, anthropology, and economics.

Collective Intelligence is an innovative monograph that documents the last ten years of Polish-born conceptual artist Agnieszka Kurant's interdisciplinary practice. It also includes newly commissioned texts by renowned thinkers in science, philosophy, technology, anthropology, and economics.

Kurant's experimental work investigates collective and nonhuman intelligences and their impact on transformations of the human, the future of labor and creativity, and the exploitations within digital capitalism. Questioning the ideology of individualism, Kurant proposes that we rethink human and more-than-human worlds from a perspective of plural subjectivity, and, through this fundamental shift in perspective, posits the possibility of alternative political imaginaries. Her work probes the replacement of individual authorship with collective intelligence--a phenomenon observed in slime molds, termite colonies, social movements, cities, the internet, and inside our brains.

In her collaborative practice, the artist investigates emergence, cybernetics, automation, artificial life, mining industries, and energy circuits to explore our collective evolution and the shifting status of objects in relation to agency, value, circulation, and re-distribution. Through crowdsourcing the production of her artworks to thousands of humans and non-humans, Kurant creates unstable, hybrid forms that constantly evolve. Her works, oscillating between biological, digital, and geological, embody the crumbling distinctions between what is natural and artificial, real and synthetic, and life and nonlife.

Dispersed throughout the book, the Phenomena section adopts a quasi-encyclopedic format to highlight and expand on Kurant's research on collective intelligence.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

概念藝術家阿格涅茲卡·庫蘭特(Agnieszka Kurant)的作品,以及來自科學、哲學、技術、人類學和經濟學等領域知名思想家的新委託文本。

《集體智慧》(Collective Intelligence)是一本創新的專著,記錄了波蘭出生的概念藝術家阿格涅茲卡·庫蘭特在過去十年的跨學科實踐。書中還包括了來自科學、哲學、技術、人類學和經濟學等領域知名思想家的新委託文本。

庫蘭特的實驗性作品探討了集體和非人類智慧及其對人類轉變、勞動和創造力的未來,以及數位資本主義中的剝削的影響。庫蘭特質疑個人主義的意識形態,提出我們應從多元主體性的角度重新思考人類及超越人類的世界,並透過這一根本的視角轉變,提出替代政治想像的可能性。她的作品探討了用集體智慧取代個人創作的現象,這一現象在黏菌、白蟻群落、社會運動、城市、互聯網以及我們的大腦中均有觀察到。

在她的合作實踐中,這位藝術家研究了出現性、控制論、自動化、人工生命、採礦產業和能源循環,以探索我們的集體演化及物體在代理性、價值、流通和再分配方面的變化地位。透過將她的藝術作品的製作外包給數千名人類和非人類,庫蘭特創造了不穩定的混合形式,這些形式不斷演變。她的作品在生物、數位和地質之間擺動,體現了自然與人造、真實與合成、生命與非生命之間逐漸崩潰的區別。

書中分散的現象部分採用準百科全書的格式,突顯並擴展庫蘭特對集體智慧的研究。

本書由伯格魯恩研究所(Berggruen Institute)、艾德和迪倫·科恩(Ed and Dillon Cohen)以及祝福之道基金會(Blessing Way Foundation)共同出版。
