Opening: Mapping the Terrain

A Framing Lecture for the After Intelligence Series

Tuesday, May 27, 2025
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM PST
CCA San Francisco Campus

Join us for the opening event of After Intelligence, where we map the terrain of AI’s impact on creative practice and critical thought.

What to Expect

This evening brings together three of the most influential voices in technology philosophy and ethics. Benjamin Bratton will offer a planetary perspective on computation and sovereignty. Kate Crawford will ground us in the material realities of AI—the mines, the data centers, the labor. Shannon Vallor will challenge us to think about what virtues we need to navigate this technological moment.

Together, they will establish the four pillars that will guide our exploration throughout the series: AI & Creative Practice, Ethical Positions, Futures & Speculation, and AI & Materiality.
