Beyond Singular Intelligence
By experimenting with forms of collective intelligence in her work, Agniezska Kurant fosters the emergence of novel forms based on a multitude of interactions between agents. She thus “metabolizes” the production processes of the living and calls for complex, hybrid, and collective works that are never complete, continue evolving in real time, and involve a “polyphony of agencies.” By setting up processes she intentionally loses control over, and working with AI, geological, or living processes, her works break free from fixed and stable forms.
