An Introduction to Consciousness, Language, and Creation
Workshop by Samara Sallam
With the increasing use of AI tools, and the ongoing debate surrounding the competition between AI and human creativity, artist Samara Sallam invites you to participate in a short workshop aimed at investigating the core qualities of human creativity.
This workshop seeks to explore the spaces and dimensions that AI may never be able to create, mimic, or fully understand. It serves as a brief introduction to trance, language, consciousness, and the act of creation. best
