Neural, with Théo Lepage-Richer and Ranjodh Singh Dhaliwal

n this episode, I have a truly delightful conversation about neural networks with Théo Lepage-Richer and Ranjodh Singh Dhaliwal. We go through the many ways that the body gets ‘technologized’ and technology gets ‘biologized’ and how and why these conceptualization happen in specific historical and political contexts, and why they matter — and more than neural networks themselves, maybe? You’ll learn about neural media, parascientific media, and the various legacies of the brain-as-site and -model for various things. Recorded May 19, 2023. Released June 26, 2023.
