$A S\u00e9ance for Science in an Era of Techno-Spiritualism$

Step into the ART+SCIENCE SALON and join our Séance for Science to confront the digitally-mediated myths, metaphors, and manipulations.
About this Event

Part debate, part performance, part speculative theatre, this event invites audiences into a room where the line between science and belief begins to shimmer. Framed as a séance for the 21st century, our "mediums" convene a live conversation between a panel of invited experts, who will collectively confront the myths, metaphors, and manipulations shaping our current age of techno-spiritualism. The séance becomes both format and method: conjuring up the ghostly returns of past ideologies and playfully questioning how new technology becomes spiritualised in times of uncertainty. By blending historical and contemporary sources with a participatory format, we will engage with the now ubiquitous adoption of AI by society, investigate how quantum theory in art reflects ancient spiritual tendencies, and question the displacement of nature/the post-human in the emerging picture of our new world.

This is not a panel. It is not a lecture. It is a collective investigation into the cognitive and cultural landscapes of belief, hosted by the ART+SCIENCE SALON.
