I’m speaking next month at the New School on AI & Psychoanalysis! I couldn’t be more humbled to be included alongside these leading thinkers and artists grappling with the growth — in spite of much concerted resistance — of AI in our daily lives. NYC, I hope to see you there! 🤖💭 March 23rd at 5pm.
l've finished teaching my class on the void to a very bright group of spirited beings! The void found at the heart of being, the void that promises an escape, the void that we weave into our very subjectivity: it is the void that we find at the heart of being, thought, and freedom. 🚀 Thanks to GCAS!
I’m very excited to share that I’ll be teaching a course titled, “The Void,” this September at GCAS. There is an early bird discount available now for auditors..! 🚀
We’ll read Hegel & Badiou with support from Lucretius & Dolar in investigating the paradoxical potential of the void.

Em português! Another essay translated into Portuguese by the Menos Um Grupo. “A Inteligência É Sempre Artificial.” Muito obrigada!
I am so grateful to this stellar collective for their translation of my recent essay. Check it out in English and Portuguese at the link in bio! 🚀
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
"While intelligence is always artificial, AI is, in actuality, not artificial enough to be labelled “intelligent.”
This is a great read!

My new essay: "Intelligence Is Always Artificial."
Can intelligence ever be natural? Per Hegel, intelligence is that which *denaturalizes.* It is a self-alienation that operates around a subjectifying gap. AI, in its immediacy, isn't *artificial enough* to be called intelligent.

Thinking about the pull of absence and the openness of the void, I find myself returning to @katherineveritt.bsky.social's essay—A Throw of the Dice Through Space—in itself a wonderful act of placing, a gesture toward the other: to say yes; to fall together.

How can thinking political space open up avenues for emancipation? Check out this conversation between Helen Rollins and myself to hear our thoughts. An interview for @everydayanalysis.bsky.social.

Thanks for sharing :)
"Where does place end?"
Such a lovely question to reflect upon on an empty Sunday afternoon. Katherine takes 9 Rothko's as placemarks to find place in space.
“We hurdle toward each other. A star appears beneath us. The perfect triangulation: you, me, and the star beneath our feet. This is what we need: a star to drive our stake into the ground.”
@katherineveritt.bsky.social's essay reminds me of this encounter. ☄️

Cheers!
For anyone interested, here is a recording of my talk, “Hegel in Cyberspace.” I explore the ontology of the Internet via Hegel’s writings on logic, nature, and spirit. 💥💥💥

Ah thank you! They might share clips of it at some point… I don’t have something shareable right now, but in the future I’m sure I will :)

Back in Firenze - great fun to cross paths with @katherineveritt.bsky.social over cocktails upon arrival
Si!
Probably thinking of Hegel.
