“The Cerebral Samba: Protocol Art, Worldbuilding & Our Two Brains” by Peter Bauman
@monkantony
Might we experience reality itself as a protocol and world in a divided brain? Bauman argues protocol art and worldbuilding externalize the brain’s two halves: the protocolic urge to formalize reality into rules and the worlding urge to inhabit it as an open, living environment. Bauman investigates in the midst of a transatlantic dialogue on systems in art between Strange Rules alongside
@labiennale and
@rhizomedotorg ’s 7x7 during New York
@friezeofficial Week.
