Nestor Pestana + Filipa Correia

The relationships between the human and the artificial

Online

Free admission
Session in portuguese
Moderation: Liliana Coutinho

How can we reflect on and create forms of collaboration between humans and machines, between human intelligence and artificial intelligence? How do we build relationships that take into account emotion as one of the fundamental aspects of experience? How can we grasp the singularity of both the human and of the machine? These are the questions that will open the conversation between Filipa Correia, a researcher at the Interactive Technologies Institute (LARSyS), whose research focuses on the intersection of robotics, computer science and social psychology, and Nestor Pestana, an artist, digital designer and educator, whose work bridges technology and environmental and human ecology.

He teaches at the Royal College of Art and the Bartlett School of Architecture and develops research-based artistic projects in collaboration with scientists and technologists.
