Join our Artists In Residence, The Revolution School and friends for part two of a three-part Thinky Feely Tank (TFT) series. In TFT #2, we will expand our interdisciplinary playground with even more entanglements via our exciting special guests: K Allado-McDowell, Karen Arcos, Edgar Fabián Frías, Ellen L. Parks, Stacy E. Wood, Alice Yuan Zhang, and Nat Decker!

In TFT #2, we will ask "how" questions. How can artists and scientists collaborate to build an ethical somatic machine worlder? How can we co-build a machine learner that worlds with and learns from Indigenous and quantum physics worldviews? How is the BEI* going to connect/ interface /entangle with our nervous system and gut microbiota? How can BEIs consent to or be reciprocal with their own becoming? These how questions will become the BEI-building criteria for TFT #3: BEI Hack House Build-A-Thon. No prep work or prior experience needed!

* BEIs (pronounced 'baes') are somatic machine learners / AI robot animals that connect to our nervous system and are co-designed with our gut microbiota and perform diffractive methodologies rooted in quantum physics to help us operate from a place of abundance and identify cyclical underlying beliefs, traumas, and biases—which are produced by and perpetuate interlocking supremacy systems.
