New York • b. 1978
Agnieszka Kurant investigates collective and nonhuman intelligences, the future of labor and creativity, and the exploitations within digital capitalism. Her works are speculative thought experiments, created in collaboration with scientists and philosophers. She sets up complex systems, networks, and structures made of multiple agents (molecules, animals, bacteria, Artificial Intelligence algorithms or crowds of people) who interact to produce hybrid forms undergoing perpetual transformation. Oscillating between biological, digital, and geological, natural and artificial, life and nonlife, her works explore plural subjectivity, the evolution of living systems, culture and technology, transformations of the human, automation and cybernetics.
