The publication The illusion of Thinking is part of an interdisciplinary study and artistic research around the overlooked implications of artificial intelligence and its assumed capacity to think and reason.
While AI often suggests genuine cognition, it primarily mirrors human ideas through recall and imitation, raising fundamental questions about the nature of understanding itself.
The book includes contributions by Flavia Dzodan, Nora O’ Murchú, and Florian Weigl, as well as interviews with artists and researchers such as Constant Dullaart, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Femke Herregraven, and Dirk Paesmans (ID.ACCO). Their work addresses topics including algorithmic decision-making, surveillance, digital infrastructures, and the role of images and interfaces in organising perception and power.
*Note: the book will be available as a hard copy at a later stage. For now, you can download the PDF version for free.
