We are on the verge of a paradigm shift as we transition from a knowledge and information economy to a neural-based one. The advent of an assortment of new technologies like brain-computer interfaces, cortical implants and attention enhancing drugs will join sophisticated forms of artificial intelligence and constitute what is already being referred to as neoliberal neural capitalism.

The ACTIVIST NEUROAESTHETICS Conference will include a number of important artists and thinkers addressing questions arising from this development, among them Elena Agudio, Yann Moulier Boutang, Juli Carson, Yves Citton, Arne de Boever, Jacquelene Drinkall, Agnieszka Kurant, Karen Lofgren, Anna Munster, Reza Negarestani, Warren Neidich, Florencia Portocarrero, Tony David Sampson, and Anuradha Vikram.
