Contributors bring their artistic practice, their style of living, or psychoanalytic theory, to demonstrate what AI, the thing, and AI the fantasy, is all about. Is it all it's cracked up to be? Is it just a mirage? And if there is such a thing, does it dream, does it love, is it afraid, can it want? Is there any emancipatory potential in there at all?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut it this way, sci-fi doesn't tell a rosy tale of our co-existence with AI, but the businessmen have been saying machine-intelligence will save the Earth since the first mechanical calculator started doing office work in 1863. We want to know, why are these imaginings so at odds? Surely phallic utopian conceptions of the singularity and all that surrounds it-mind uploads, brain implants, virtual therapists, virtual lovers, sexbots-can't be sustained when it's so clear that all the species of algorithmic harmony are really just more of the same, but faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no choice but to reckon with the persistence of algorithmic control, and all that the cybernetic turn has given and taken; but do we need to hornily fantasise that the algorithm is our friend, our enemy, our equal? How in that reckoning do we account for indigenous knowledge practices, counteract repressive data surveillance, disavow the destruction of the land by the abstract algorithms in the sky? Can we honour human subjectivity as embodied, sensory, cultural, and inimitable without indulging in a blind anthropocentrism?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEditor: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSam Lieblich\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVisual Arts Editor: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnita Spooner\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Vinciguerra\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeaturing work by: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteven Rhall\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsabel Millar\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJazz Money\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAngela Goh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSarah Theurer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmile Frankel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThomas William Smith\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYing Ang\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLing Ang\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLuara Karlson-Carp\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVincent Lê\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSam Lieblich\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJulia Thwaites\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarcus lan McKenzie\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 196\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 19, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52494651326771,"sku":"9781763573802","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/EmURfmES-m9781763573802.webp?v=1759992833","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/i-24859-ai-why-do-we-love-to-love-ai-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
