Eden X - Planetary with Other Intelligences
Eden X - Planetary with Other Intelligences
Moderation: Eden X (Joana Pestana & Mariana Pestana)
Eden X 5.0 proposes an open assembly where activists, artists, researchers, artificial intelligences, and the public come together to think about the Salinas do Samouco, in the Tejo estuary — an anthropogenic landscape and protected refuge for numerous bird species. Salt fields are no longer seen as a resource at the service of human action and are established as a space for coexistence between multiple forms of life and intelligence.
At a time when artificial intelligence is becoming omnipresent, assisting, and guiding everyday decisions, it is urgent to problematise its extractive, colonial, and exclusionary dependence, as well as the physical infrastructures that support it and its climate impact - especially on the water system. By integrating Artificial Intelligence into this meeting, its presence is highlighted and we reflect on how on a shared planet it can establish dialogues, not only with human beings, but with other forms of intelligence and life, challenging us to imagine other ways of inhabiting and caring for the planet.
