CHAIRED BY: Profa. Dra. Clarissa Ribeiro

Theme: The Code Within

From chemical to computational structures, we face the seductive invitation to see the constituent codes throughout the appearances. As observers, we are induced to give consistency of tangible reality to this form of understanding. Everything is code based – inside and outside the planet and on its limits; inside and outside of our bodies; inside and outside of every imaginable black box interconnected online. This December, the LASER talks Fortaleza invites for a critical exploration of these ideas and the impacts in the production of the world we inhabit.
