What does it mean to communicate with an Alien Intelligence?

0rphan Drift and Etic Lab present:

Kraken?
What does it mean to communicate with an Alien Intelligence and how might we try to do it?

A collaboration between artist 0rphan Drift and tech research agency
Etic Lab explores the conceptual and material conditions in which an algorithm might learn to communicate with an octopus.

How to address human exceptionalism’s limited
understanding of ourselves in relation to other life forms?
What alternative forms of experience, perception, ethics and entanglement are revealed in the process of stripping away the human tendency to deploy anthropomorphism,
to ‘see’ another form of intelligent life?

What is the potential for synthetic intelligence to process uncertainty and changing, dynamic environments through engagement with a distributed consciousness, resisting its evolution as a surveilling and predictive modelling tool?
