Future Fragments: Fluid Intelligence, or the Photographic Image Today. A Lecture by Krzysztof Pijarski

Future Fragments is an initiative bringing together art, technology, and theoretical reflection to explore the nature of intelligence, agency, and creativity. We approach them not as fixed attributes of individuals, but as complex phenomena that emerge through relationships and evolve through interactions between organisms, systems, and environments. Rather than positioning technology in opposition to nature, we see it as another layer of the global ecosystem. We examine how the development of technology and intelligence—in both human and non-human forms—is changing our understanding of their roles and mutual influence. Future Fragments is a dynamic, decentralized platform that creates a space where voices, ideas, and people from diverse fields can come together. The lectures, discussions, workshops, presentations, and publications organized as part of Future Fragments are open to everyone interested in our rapidly changing present and emerging future—including researchers, artists, practitioners, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of what is happening at the intersection of technology and culture.
