Day 2 - Universal Language I: Human-Computer Interaction

Patterned Behavior

The second day of Universal Language I focuses on the Language of mathematics, movement, and how visual memory fold together in contributions that speculate on meaning-making’s many forms. Cybernetic systems conveyed through futurist art in South-East Asia join with space-time collapsing records of rhythm keeping over centuries throughout the African Continent, and nodes that synthesize a language in latency offer a model to view language development in both living beings and A.I. that is multidimensional and constantly in change.

During the day, presentations by Nyokabi Kariũki, Kathleen Ditzig, and Aslı Nur Mahmutoğlu are followed by a second all-group discussion. In the evening, Kariũki performs Body, Bend, the new solo composition by the musician exploring memory and knowledge through “embodied percussion.”

Human-Computer Interaction, is the first gathering of a year-long program for Stroom Den Haag’s multi-year initiative, Entangled Codes, which frames contemporary technology in relation to public space, and civic life.
