IMPCON: Event 1

Posted on Friday, October 14th, 2011 at 12:42 pm

In January 2012 we produced our first Improvising Consciousness event. We explored the notion that cognition is historically contingent in a performative lecture and series of interactive workshops. The lecture introduces different theories of mind past, present and future. The exercises in the interactive workshop temporarily steal the participants’ minds and support phenomenological experience of alternative mind configurations. More Information and Documentation in links below.
