Lecture 1: Rethinking the Body beyond Consumer Culture<\/strong>
Mike Featherstone
Goldsmiths, University of London<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The body is accorded a central status within consumer culture through a constant flow of images of youth, fitness and beauty.  The general \u2018if you look good you feel good\u2019 philosophy combined with the advocacy of instrumental body transformation regimes, contrasts with a second view of the body \u2018the body without image,\u2019 the body in motion, the affective body which operates in everyday life.  This presentation seeks to update the discussion by addressing three further orientations to the body which can be seen as salient today:  the digital data body;  Anthropocene bodies;  and interdependent bodies (our wider transspecies and planetary bodily relations).

Lecture 2:  Embodied intelligence and digital information technology: AI and the body materiality<\/strong>
Tomoko Tamari
Goldsmiths, University of London<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Digital information technologies, such as computer programmes with artificial intelligence are becoming ubiquitous. This situation could suggest not just changes existing social systems, but also influencing the fundamental human-machine (technical object) relations. The paper attempts to explore the probable consequences of the notion of \u2018the body as data\u2019 and elaborate the significance of body materiality in the field of the computer science. The paper also discusses risks of losing skills, knowledge and experience about technical objects which could be replaced by mechanical automated production processes in the course of technological development. Drawing on Simondon\u2019s concept of \u2018concretization\u2019 and Stiegler\u2019s noton of \u2018symbolic misery\u2019, the paper proposes a need to work on the question of the potential practice of bio-social concretization to consider the ever-changing relationship between humans and technical objects.
