An AI guides participants through a short meditation, inviting them to let go of excess knowledge and surrender to a state of tranquil neural dependence. Participants are gradually nudged deeper into a world of illusion, or maya, as understood by certain Vedic and Buddhist traditions.
This audiovisual experience offers a thought-provoking reflection on the effects of AI on human cognition and consciousness, evoking a series of questions:
— How does instant knowledge affect our ability to cultivate wisdom? — How does computational information impact the experiential, subjective experience of gnosis? — How do we develop the discernment to filter and curate information that aligns with our values and promotes somatic harmony?
Spoken and written words in this piece are entirely human, the visuals are not.
