We spend so much of our time living in a space that takes on various degrees in semblance to reality - the digital world. What do we make of this world? How is it compelling us to rethink our commonplace notion of self and identity? Ong Kar Jin, full-time tech policy analyst, and amateur internet ethnographer introduces us to different facets of virtuality. He considers how this social form of consciousness-extension is both changing and reinforcing our understanding of what makes us human.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been writing music over the past several decades (did you know David Bowie co-developed a lyric-writing Mac app?). This collaboration is taken further with MUTEK.JP, an electronic music and digital arts festival that celebrates the intersection between humans and AI.

MUTEK.JP, Where Music and AI Come Together
