For Your Eyes Only: Genesis
- Sun 2718:30-20:00
Technology is all-dominant. But… Could Artificial Intelligence efficiently replicate neurobiology? Can computer algorithms adequately describe a pluripotent stem cell? And even so, how about art? Could art capture an era’s zeitgeist or the blinding passage from chaos to order and existence? FYEO:G drills down to the basics. To the point where mathematics are forced to restrict endless probabilities and infinite statistical chances to the old-plus-new dance of biological patterns and motifs. The most powerful coding of information passage ever, before your eyes:DNA. You can see it but can you comprehend what it says?
(Can you read between the lines?)
