Gordon White is a chaos magician, shamanic practitioner, and permaculture designer based in Tasmania. He podcasts and teaches through the vehicle of Rune Soup, the world's largest magic academy, and he writes prolifically -- not only on the Rune Soup blog but in several incredible books. Gordon's breadth and depth of knowledge is unbelievably humbling, and it was an honor to spend an hour or so with him.We came to Gordon for perspective, to some bring context and breadth and dimension to our relatively narrow world. Disintegrator sits in a kind of para-academic space, where we tend to limit the things we allow ourselves to write and think in terms of what's acceptable in mainstream academia. And there are so many people in this space, squashed between the outer walls of the academy and a totally vast, teeming ocean of different ways of thinking and being.((An academic might chastize us for using 'outside' as a kind of euphemism for an alien or an other, but we'd push back -- it is the inside that we're all kind of bunched up against, like feudal serfs huddling for protection and warmth. As we look outside, we've started to speculate about what might be out there, inventing our own 'pseudosacreds' that preoccupy our minds without forcing us to change anything about ourselves.))Gordon brings sledgehammers from magical practices and shamanic tradtions around the world, alongside a potent alternative canon of Western, and, well, pummels our walls a bit.Tons of references packed in here, but a good place to start would be his books Chaos Protocols and Ani.Mystic (in order). Marek fell in love with Gordon's world through these three podcast episodes (one, two, three) and this lecture at the Guggenheim (with visual media from friend of the pod Refik Anadol).Further references:A big and loving shoutout to Jay Springett, who just absolutely rules in every possible way, you gotta be a JayMo fan fr.Gordon references Dr. Jeff Kripal on the subject of the 'imaginal' -- which becomes a helpful concept later in the episode as we talk through technology. The imaginal is an ontological layer or that is not necessarily physical but still real.The most significant reference here is of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, a Brazillian anthropologist discussed in the context of pespectivism and what a truly decolonized anthropology (and philosophy) might look like.Gordon references Ephesisans 6:12 ("powers and principalities") in the context of a Christian ontology that affords an idea the status of a being.Dr. Jack Hunter's concept of "ontological flooding" -- an "opening of the floodgates" of what is discussible in ontological terms. Here's a discussion on the subject from 2021.Marek references a recent trend in philosophy ("object oriented ontology") that grapples with the autonomy of the non-human world. This episode is cheekily named after Quentin Meillassoux's concept of the "great outdoors" -- a plane of reality that exceeds human experience or human conception.Gordon references Paracelsus, Edgar Cayce, Rudolf Steiner, and Allan Kardec in the context of a Western spiritualist canon.Gordon discusses Matías De Stefano specifically in the context of mineral intelligence. Here's an absolutely wild talk on the subject.For those unfamiliar, the "Dieta" that Gordon refers to is a period of isolation, strict diet, and deep work with plant medicines like ayahuasca.Ambient track is 'Respect for the Medium' by friend of the pod They Became What They Beheld, show them some love on Bandcamp.

Pour ce 4ème épisode du WAC Morning, Diane Drubay revient sur les grandes actualités Web3 qui touchent les musées et institutions culturelles. Le programme WAC (Web3 for the Art and Culture) poursuit son ambition d'accompagner les musées dans l'adoption des technologies blockchain, immersives et d'intelligence artificielle. Pour cette nouvelle saison, deux grandes institutions américaines rejoignent l'initiative : le Museum of Art and Light et le Toledo Museum of Art, qui explorent notamment l'usage des NFT pour engager leur public.L'épisode aborde aussi la place croissante de l'intelligence artificielle dans l'art, avec en toile de fond la controverse autour de la vente IA organisée par Christie's. Certains artistes dénoncent l'utilisation de modèles entraînés sans respect des droits d'auteur, tandis que d'autres défendent l'approche d'une IA maîtrisée et nourrie par des jeux de données propriétaires. Cette question s'inscrit dans un débat plus large, alors que l'IA Summit de Paris mettait justement en avant des œuvres d'artistes numériques sur les écrans géants du Grand Palais.Un autre projet marquant est le lancement par le Metropolitan Museum of Art de Art Links, un jeu mobile éducatif dont l'objectif est d'explorer la collection du musée à travers des associations d'œuvres et de concepts, tout en récompensant les joueurs avec des NFT. Cette initiative illustre la manière dont les musées cherchent à capter un public plus jeune et connecté, tout en valorisant leurs collections permanentes souvent méconnues.Le Web3 continue aussi de s'imposer à travers les acquisitions de musées. Le Francisco Carolina Museum de Linz, pionnier dans la collection d'œuvres numériques sur blockchain, a récemment ajouté plusieurs NFT à ses collections, dont des créations d'Auriea Harvey, Too Much Lag et Andrea Chiampo. De son côté, le Museum of Moving Images à New York a officialisé l'entrée d'un ensemble d'œuvres de Auriea Harvey dans sa collection permanente.Enfin, deux expositions à venir illustrent l'intérêt grandissant des institutions pour l'art numérique. À Lyon, le MAC présentera en mars Echoes of the Past, Premises of the Future, une exploration de la nature sublimée par le numérique.À Paris, le Jeu de Paume accueillera en avril Le Monde selon l'IA, une exposition majeure sur la photographie générative et analytique, avec des artistes comme Trevor Paglen, Kate Crawford et Refik Anadol.Phrase Clé de l'Épisode :"Ce n'est pas parce qu'une œuvre n'est pas vendue immédiatement qu'elle ne finira pas dans une collection de musée prestigieuse." – Diane DrubayPour approfondir :* Programme WAC Lacs * Le jeu Art Links du Metropolitan Museum* Exposition au MAC Lyon : mac-lyon.com* Exposition au Jeu de Paume : jeudepaume.org* Compte Twitter de RuneArt* Replay video de l'épisode ici This is a public episode.

Wall Street Skeptic Questions AI Boom's Sustainability Goldman Sachs' head of stock research, Jim Covello, warns that the current AI spending boom might be overhyped. Citing the influx of AI-related promotions, he suggests that spending may not yield sufficient returns, similar to past bubbles. His skepticism has already contributed to a 7% decline in major AI stock prices.

Refik Anadol, and by extension Refik Anadol Studio, is one of the most visible, if not the most visible, artists working with large models today. His work is everywhere, from MoMa to the Biennale Venezia, from the very first Las Vegas Exosphere art display to the front of Walt Disney Concert Hall. We're delighted to have had him on the pod to talk through his artistic philosophy, touching specifically on media, light, AI, and his new incredibly large-scope Nature Model project announced back in January (approximately the same time we had our conversation with him — yes, the backlog is real).We're also accompanied in the virtual studio with Pelin Kivrak, who writes as apart of Refik Anadol Studio.

Christoph Grünberger ist Designer und Typograph, der sein Skillset in den Bereichen Corporate-, Interactive- und Spatial-Design anwendet. Hier geht es ihm stets darum, die Grenzen der gegebenen Design- und Interaction-Theorie auszureizen. Diese Erkenntnisse gewinnt und kondensiert er bislang in zahlreichen Fach- Publikationen welche bei namhaften Verlegern erschienen sind. Darunter „Analog Algorithm“ welches als zeitgemässe Interpretation zur Neuauflage von Karl Gerst- ners „Designing Programmes“ 2019 bei Lars Müller, Zürich erschienen ist und zuletzt auch als Lizenzausgaben in japanischer und chinesischer Edition. Mit dem Nachfolgetitel „The Age of Data“ nutzte er die Zeit des Lockdowns während der Corona-Pandemie um 40 internationale Medienkünstler zu interviewen und ein Kompendium herauszugeben, welches eine Momentaufnahme der Kunst zwischen Post-Digital- und AI-Zeitalter wiedergibt. Als prägend bezeichnet Grünberger die während seines Studiums der Kunst- geschichte/Pädagogik erlangten Einblicke in die zeitlichen Zusammenhänge des gestalterischen Ausdrucks durch Prof. Oswald Miedl, der ihm auch anrat, seine Interessen im Studium des Kommunikationsdesigns weiter zu verfolgen. Auf verschiedenen nationalen und internationalen Konferenzen, Panels und Work- shops versucht Grünberger diese Entwicklung der computergestützten Gestal- tung voranzutreiben. 2022 moderierte er ein Panel auf der OFFF in Barcelona mit Refik Anadol und Flo Ortkrass (RANDOM INTERNATIONAL) in dieser Kombination hielt er im selben Jahr ein Interview mit Ian Anderson (The Designers Republik™). Für 2024 sind Panels geplant für Mouvo (Prag), Charlottesville Designweek (USA) und OFFF Mexiko). Bevor er bei Jung von Matt im Dezember 2022 als Principal Creative Art anfing, war Grünberger über 20 Jahre als freiberuflicher Art-Director bei Designagen- turen wie KMS-Team, BLACKSPACE, Mutabor oder R/GA tätig. 2005-2009 war er Partner von Stefan Gandl bei NEUBAU™ in Berlin. Hier entstanden Werke wie NeubauModul und NeubauISM, seinerzeit von Wim Crouwel eröffnet. Seit November 2023 leitet er als Head of Artificial Crafts die hauseigene AI-Unit welche sich neben der Anwendung neuer Prozesse auch auf das Identifizieren dieser spezialisiert und mit diesem Service die gesamte Jung von Matt Gruppe zu empowern.

The IRDC is one of the best retail design conferences that there is bringing together the world of retailers, brands and experience place makers every year for two days of engaging conversations and pushing the discourse forward on what makes retailing relevant.You will find the archive of the NXTLVL Experience Design podcast on VMSD.com.Thanks also goes to Shop Association the only global retail trade association dedicated to elevating the in-store experience. SHOP Association represents companies and affiliates from 25 countries and brings value to their members through research, networking, education, events and awards. Check then out on SHOPAssociation.orgIn a minute, we'll dig into my discussion with Tasha Golden - Director of Research at the International Arts+Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University.But first a few thoughts to set up our talk…****************Art and making is part of our human experience – it is part of who we are as a species.I have had this feeling for a number of years, and probably expressed it on this podcast a number of times, that art and making are intrinsic to all of us. There's something unique about the making of things that humans do that is different than other living creatures on the planet. Sure, some of the animals in our world make things too. Birds make nests and the great apes do as well, for some apes, new ones every night as I understand it. But the defining feature between humans and the other creatures making things on the planet is that we make things that can make other things.We are Homo Sapiens – “Man The Thinker” but we are also “Homo Faber” or Man The Maker. I think we're equally “Homo Ludens” – “Man The Player.”I'm sure that there's some deep connection between the idea of the making of things and play that are also deeply connected in defining who we are and how we come to understand ourselves and navigate the world. When I am deeply connected to the making of things, specifically when listening to music and painting, I am very aware of the fact that I am in a Flow state that feels like being deeply involved in play. Time disappears, dissipates… its otherworldly. I think that making, whether objects, stories, music or other manifestations of our creative minds is part of who we all are. But I also think we have pushed it aside getting up in our rational heads believing that we could think our way through our lives rather than feeling, or maybe even creating our way through them.Sir Ken Robinson had said something like ‘we are all born creative, and we have it educated out of us.' That's a tragedy with huge implications to our world when I think we really need super creative solutions to life's pressing challenges.It seems to me that creativity was a necessary skill to be developed as part of our evolutionary history. Being creative, a good problem solver, was an insurance policy for survival. This is also true of our ability to engage in empathic relationships in collaborative communities. When working together, we were much better able to survive. Millenia ago, being cast out of the group and having to go at on your own in the wild might have significantly reduced your chances of survival.And so, making and creating close knit social communities and problem solving have been with us from time immemorial.But beyond making tools, creating shelters and being creative in these ways so as to survive in an unpredictable and sometime brutal world, the arts, at least we call them now evolved as a way for us to express ourselves, our ideological orientations, our understanding of the world.In some ways they were an attempt to understand and answer some of the existential questions of what it meant to be human and how we fit into the cosmological scheme of things. The arts in its many forms; sculpture, dance, song, music, and later literature, brought communities together in shared understanding of the meaning of being individuals as well as members of a larger whole. The arts were a vehicle for the expression of ideas, the asking of questions and searching for answers. In many ways the arts helped to express the ineffable. The arts aligned with our penchant for using narratives to navigate through the world. Stories put things into place, they described the why and how of things. Cognitive scientist Roger Schank has said “Humans are not ideally set up to understand logic; they're ideally set up to understand stories.”      And many of the stories we tell are in the form of the arts. From the paintings on the walls of caves in Lascaux France 1700 years ago, to the contemporary dance of Martha Graham, to best-selling books (you pick the author) or immersive digital experiences of media artists like Refik Anadol, the arts have been, and continue to be, part of our lives. Without the arts, life would be bereft of meaning.I have often heard people say I can't draw or I've got no rhythm and can't dance or I can't hold a tune. These self-judgmental comments go completely contrary to what we know from science about the value of engaging in art or even doing simple things like humming your favorite tune and the positive effects it has on your mind-body state.I find myself humming or singing to myself all the time – Christmas carols in the summer, old 70's rock classics any day, doesn't matter. Humming, an ancient artform, plays a key role in activating the parasympathetic nervous system – also known as your ‘rest and digest state'. Because your vagus nerve, one of your neural superhighways connecting your brain to major organs in the rest of your body, runs through your larynx and pharynx in your throat, the vibrations that humming stimulates your vagus nerve and creates what's known as “vagal tone.”Humming can also improve heart rate variability which is an important metric that shows how well you can recover from experiences of stress. So, when you hum you induce something called “parasympathetic dominance” which means that you move from a fight or flight state into one of increased relaxation. The idea here is that bringing the arts into our lives even in the simplest of ways like humming, reconnects us to ourselves and helps support mind body health, an overall sense of well-being. More and more research is pointing to the fact that engaging in the arts and having a sense of well-being can be directly connected. In fact the whole emerging field in cognitive science called neuroaesthetics is geared towards the understanding of how the arts, in all of their incarnations, influences how we feel - not just when listening to a piece of music or staring at a painting on a wall in a museum - but how the    overall built environment potentially influences our emotional state which may have a direct effect on our body systems potentially leading to disease. So, there is a significant problem at hand when arts funding is slashed from school curricula thinking that it is less important than getting our school aged children ready to compete on the world stage by simply focusing on STEM based curricula only. Fully integrating the arts into the school, and even our workdays, increases learning and company performance. As a personal example, I know I've described this in a number of the podcast episodes, and at the risk of being repetitive I'll do so       now……during the pandemic between 2020 and 2022 and I poured myself into painting, writing and doing this podcast all of which would qualify as the arts. I firmly believe that if it weren't for me finding a Flow state, a pseudo meditative experience, through painting and listening to music while doing it , that my experience of the pandemic may have been drastically different. I think that in many ways, it might have actually been quite negative and that I might have been a very difficult person to live with. Instead, art gave me a sense of agency to be able to navigate the ambiguity of an uncertain future. Engaging in the arts, if even on a small plain of my physical world in the form of a 36 by 48-inch canvas, gave me a certain sense of control. I shifted the negative energy of anxiety and fear of the unknown into creativity in the form of a pandemic production of 25 canvases. I was directly exposed to the value and impact of how the arts could be harnessed to create a profound sense of well-being.And this brings me to my guest Tasha Golden.    Tasha Golden, PhD is Director of Research at the International Arts+Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University, and a national leader and consultant in arts + public health.

Paola Antonelli is the Senior Curator of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, where she also serves as the founding Director of Research and Development. She has been described as "one of the 25 most incisive design visionaries in the world" by TIME magazine. In this interview Paola talks about her vision of what design is. She believes that design touches every aspect of society, and that design has a civic responsibility towards humanity and the planet. “Design is the enzyme that makes progress happen”. Her biggest ambition is to enhance people's awareness of design and to make sure the world understands that design is not only cute chairs, sleek products, and fetching logos. But objects are not irrelevant, the controversial acquisition of the @ sign to the MoMA collection shows that collecting is not about ownership per se, since the sign belongs to everyone.     We talk about some of the more impactful exhibitions she has organized at MoMA and the 40-plus Salons that she has organized, that will not only inform the museum and its program, but also inspire the wider conversation in the world outside. The Salons are available on-line and new Salons can be enjoyed through the museum's live streaming. Paola also explains the vision behind the Instagram/podcast based project Design Emergency together with design critic Alice Rawsthorn. On a more personal note, we also talk about curiosity and adventure as major driving forces in her life, her passion for traveling and love for New York. We also get Paola's take on how AI and Refik Anadol's work “Unsupervised” have influenced her perspective on MoMA's collection. Paola Antonelli © 2021 The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

The arrival of A.I. will profoundly change the art world—if it hasn't already. A.I.-generated works have proliferated with the rise of A.I. art generators and large language models from DALL-E to ChatGPT, making their way into galleries and in some cases, winning prestigious awards. But the question remains: is it art, if it's been dreamed up by an algorithm? Or do our existing definitions of art and art-making require rethinking in the age of machine intelligence? To help us answer these questions and more, the Art Angle looked up K Allado-McDowell, a leading voice in a rapidly evolving field. As a long-time A.I. researcher at Google A.I., K founded the Artists + Machine Intelligence program, which since 2016 has nurtured artists including Refik Anadol. And as an artist, K has created works—from an opera to numerous books—alongside the language model GPT-3. In a conversation with Artnet News' Art & Pop Culture editor Min Chen, K shed light on their practice, their experiences with machine intelligence, and their view on how A.I. is changing the face of art.

And into that white box we could project data images that were representation of my inner desires or inner mind body state.Then along comes an exposure to something that was called a data sculpture in the Sales Force headquarters in San Francisco. The extraordinary digital image moved across a large part of a wall surface was pulling data from the environment and changing in response to the weather, traffic flows to public sentiment about certain things.This became my first exposure to the fact that someone out there was actually doing this thing I had imagined would be possible. Subsequent to that, I stumbled across an exhibit called “Melting Memories” where Refik Anadol ,a Turkish data visualization artist, had been able to capture brain data of people's memories and made the invisible visible. Refik Anadol's data paintings, or data sculptures, were enormous high-definition fluid moving images that were like watching a campfire - ever changing and captivating. I found them captivating more so because they were a physicalization of somebody's most private moments - a memory. This for me was a complete game changer. Finally, the ideas that I had begun to think about but knew I was incapable of actually creating on my own were being done. An artist in our midst who was tying together artificial intelligence, art and neuroscience was beginning to reshape the way we would come to experience public spaces and art itself. Refik Anadol is an extraordinary example of a game changing artist who brings together these three core components in reshaping the world we live in.Using architecture as a canvas, his data sculptures recontextualize the built work, or the inner life of significant cultural buildings, and externalizes them as a painting on the exterior skin giving these public buildings a new level of appreciation, perhaps, for an emerging cohort of digitally oriented consumers.One of the main premises of my book Retail (r)Evolution was to try to get people who were creating brand experience places a little more connected to what happens at a brain-body level in terms of their experience of environments. My whole premise was that if you knew a little bit more about how your brain actually worked you might not create some of the things that you believe are relevant which are completely off of the awareness radar and probably don't have the impact that you hope to have with people who are experience the place.If we only understood a little bit what goes on inside your head we might be able to create more relevant and meaningful experiences for people because so much of what we experience is driven by our neurophysiology and our interpersonal neurobiology.As I learned more about the work of Refik Anadol, I was intrigued and delighted by his thinking of what he's doing today and his relationship to early Renaissance art where, at that time artists were afforded materials by their patrons and they would use technologies to create advances in artistic expression. In Anadol's world, his connection to massive data sets were akin to having the raw materials for creating great new digital pieces of artwork. I once heard him explain that what he was effectively doing was taking his paintbrush and plunging it into the consciousness of the machine and painting with those algorithms and data sets. What is even more fascinating about his work is the use of light as a building material, or maybe as a pigment, which he wields to create both paintings that may hung in a gallery as well as wrapping significant pieces of architecture like the Frank Gehry Disney Concert Hall for the Los Angeles Philharmonic in the center of downtown LA.The interesting thing about using existing architecture as a canvas onto which light as a substance is painted and moving pictures generated from massive data sets that are the memory of the building is that in a way it recontextualizes these buildings that are, generally speaking, time stamped,meaning they're built in a period of time and represent a certain period of culture into which they were born. This work brings those buildings forward into a contemporary world of fluid experience where time and space seemed to collapse as we move rapidly from one significant change in our digitally mediated environment to the next.Refik Anadol (b. 1985, Istanbul, Turkey) is now an internationally renowned media artist, director, and pioneer in the aesthetics of machine intelligence. He currently resides in Los Angeles, California, where he owns and operates Refik Anadol Studio and RAS LAB, the Studio's research practice centered around discovering and developing trailblazing approaches to data narratives. Anadol also teaches at UCLA's Department of Design Media Arts from which he obtained his Master of Fine Arts.Anadol's body of work addresses the challenges, and the possibilities, that ubiquitous computing has imposed on humanity, and what it means to be a human in the age of AI. He explores how the perception and experience of time and space are radically changing now that machines dominate our everyday lives. Anadol is intrigued by the ways in which the digital age and machine intelligence allow for a new aesthetic technique to create enriched immersive environments that offer a dynamic perception of space.  In some cases, entire buildings come to life, floors, walls, ceilings disappear into Infinity, breathtaking aesthetics take shape from large swaths of data, and what was once invisible to the human eye becomes visible, offering the audience a new perspective on and narrative of their worlds.Refik anadol global projects have received a number of awards and prizes.His studio comprises designers, architects, data scientists and researchers from diverse professional and personal backgrounds, embracing principles of inclusion and equity throughout every stage of the production. Studio members originate from 10 different countries and are collectively fluent in 14 different languages. I don't often gush over having an opportunity to speak to a guest but in this case my enthusiasm for the work of Refik Anadol is unbounded. I truly believe that he is doing something extraordinarily in the world of art, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, urban planning and architecture.And so I confess a certain fandom for Refik and was grateful to have him offer up time so that we could have this discussion. To some degree, it is unfortunate that this podcast is a non-visual medium and so I encourage all who listen to visit refikanadol.com – R E F I K A N A D O l.comThere you will have an in-depth look at his work that is shifting the nature and our understanding of how art artificial intelligence, neuroscience and architecture are all merging in a way that is a paradigm shift for how we experience place.        ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites: https://www.davidkepron.com    (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645  (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comTwitter: DavidKepronPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron is a multifaceted creative professional with a deep curiosity to understand ‘why', ‘what's now' and ‘what's next'.
