On Friday, 10.in April, in the atrium of the ZRC at 18.uri hosts a conversation about Dr. Bare Kolenc's book: The Web and the subject , recently published by Analecta . The author will talk to Dr. Jela Krecic .
The world in which we live, brutal and fascinating, can no longer be imagined without the internet, artificial intelligence and technological developments. If there is a future for the internet – perhaps it is even more certain than any other future, such as the future of humanity, natural habitats or the spirit – it will certainly shift the parameters of what is possible.
The relationship between web and subject cannot be understood without considering the specific temporality that this relationship establishes. We called this timeliness instant. From a social point of view, this shift marks the birth of a new era that not only succeeded the postmodern era, but, perhaps, will also complete modernity itself. This era has also been called instantness.
The concept of instant or " instant Eternity "is a cross between" instant "and" eternal " (Eternit). While in the traditional analog perception of time as a succession of present moments represent a non-existent, always lost reality, today, with the advent of the digital virtual environment, the moment, on the contrary, becomes a point of convergence of reality as it is and as it manifests itself. The reality of the digital age is built on the "preservation" and accumulation of moments of the present in the topological unfolding of time. In this sense, the internet, the global internet, "corresponds" in an unusual way to the timelessness of the unconscious. Everything that has already happened on the web has left an imprint on his tissue. And since these prints are not diachronically arranged,they coexist in each present. On the other hand, the online environment in which we are virtually immersed can change completely with every moment. This has important effects on the Constitution of subjectivity and the world. It affects everything: on psychic and socio-economic structures, on the distribution of power and on man's attitude to nature.
The book brings a series of bold hypotheses. He establishes his own ontology, through which he rethinks the aspect of the interweaving of digital virtual and non-digital physical realities and questions the further subjectivation of artificial intelligence. The possibility of ending capitalism.
The World Wide Web is a superstructure that parasitizes the infrastructure of the internet, that is, the internet. Therefore, it is not a neutral technological achievement – it is a materialized ideology. The sublime object of ideology works as long as there is a subject of desire. So the key question is not whether artificial intelligence has self-reflection, but what are the levers of its action. Or, in short: does artificial intelligence enjoy it?
V petek, 10.aprila, v Atriju ZRC ob 18.uri gostimo pogovor o knjigi dr. Bare Kolenc : Splet in subjekt , ki je nedavno izšel pri Analecti . Z avtorico se bo pogovarjala dr. Jela Krečič .
Sveta, v katerem živimo, brutalnega in fascinantnega, si ne moremo več predstavljati brez interneta, umetne inteligence in tehnološkega razvoja. Če obstaja prihodnost interneta – nemara je ta celo bolj gotova od vseh drugih prihodnosti, denimo prihodnosti človeštva, naravnih habitatov ali duha –, bo ta prav gotovo premestila parametre možnega.
Razmerja med spletom in subjektom ni mogoče razumeti brez premisleka specifične časovnosti, ki jo to razmerje vzpostavlja. To časovnost smo poimenovali instanternost. Z družbenega vidika ta premik pomeni rojstvo nove dobe, ki ni le nasledila obdobja postmoderne, ampak bo morda zaključila tudi modernost samo. To dobo smo prav tako poimenovali instanternost.
Pojem instanternosti oziroma »hipne večnosti« je križanec med »hipom« (instant) in »večnostjo« (eternity). Medtem ko v tradicionalnem analognem dojemanju časa kot sosledja sedajev trenutki predstavljajo neobstoječo, vedno že izgubljeno realnost, pa danes, s pojavom digitalnega virtualnega okolja, trenutek prav nasprotno postane točka konvergence realnosti, kakršna je in kakršna se kaže. Realnost digitalne dobe gradi na »ohranjanju« in kopičenju trenutkov sedanjosti v topološki razgrnitvi časa. V tem smislu internet, globalno medmrežje, na nenavaden način »ustreza« brezčasnosti nezavednega. Vse, kar se je že zgodilo na spletu, je pustilo odtis v njegovem tkivu. In ker ti odtisi niso diahrono razporejeni, soobstajajo v vsakokratni sedanjosti. Po drugi strani se spletno okolje, v katerega smo virtualno potopljeni, z vsakim trenutkom lahko popolnoma spremeni. To ima pomembne učinke na konstitucijo subjektivnosti in sveta. Vpliva na vse: na psihične in družbeno-ekonomske strukture, na porazdelitev moči in na človekov odnos do narave.
Knjiga prinaša serijo drznih hipotez. Vzpostavi lastno ontologijo, skozi katero premisli vidik prepleta digitalne virtualne in nedigitalne fizične realnosti ter se sprašuje o nadaljnji subjektivaciji umetne inteligence. Zadane tudi ob možnost konca kapitalizma.
Svetovni splet je nadstruktura, ki parazitira na infrastrukturi interneta, se pravi, medmrežja. Zato ni nevtralen tehnološki dosežek – je materializirana ideologija. Sublimni objekt ideologije deluje, dokler obstaja subjekt želje. Ključno vprašanje torej ni, ali umetna inteligenca premore samorefleksijo, temveč kakšni so vzvodi njenega delovanja. Ali, na kratko: ali umetna inteligenca uživa?
