Site 1: Logic Gates, the Politics of the Artifactual Mind

The Issue 0 of the journal, titled »Site 0: Castalia, the Game of Ends and Means«, was dedicated to repositioning art in the landscape of reason. Issue 1 is focused on the fabric of reason itself, and to the ways in which it is currently altered by the emergence of artificial intelligence. While the capacities of thought are being externalized in machines that increasingly mirror human intelligence, the question of the technical artifactuality of mind and its political ramifications becomes particularly pressing. Far from being limited to the computational instantiation of intelligence, understanding the politics of these developments in artificial intelligence requires acknowledging that mind has always been artifactual.
