PROTOCOGNITION

The Arts Exhibition and Performances organised by Bristol Art Gallery and Unconventional Computing Lab UWE Bristol.

 

Protocognition refers to the ability of non-living creatures and substances without a nervous system to acquaint themselves with information, recognize stimulatory spaces, accumulate knowledge, and develop wisdom. It encompasses various processes such as sensing, decision mapping, learning, reasoning, believing, and even exhibiting emotional states through chemical and physical substrates.

The exhibition is inspired by the father of the Artificial Intelligence, Catalonian philosopher Ramon Llull (1232–1316), who “succeeded in creating a universal science, based on the algebraic notation of its basic concepts and their combination by means of mechanical figures” [1]. There is no submission fee and selected entries will be exhibited at the virtual exhibition for free. Entries selected for physical exhibition at will attract printing fees.
