How will our rapidly deepening interactions with non-human constituencies — from the biological to the synthetic — change how we understand what intelligence is?
On stage, we'll travel from microscopic and ecosystemic to agentic and exoplanetary to examine intelligence as the emergent property shared across these systems, and explore how new interspecies ecologies are emerging.
Long Now has partnered with the creative team at Waving to make this an memorable night of curiosity, cross-disciplinary connection, and catalysts for new paths of exploration. Don't miss it.
