Artists using their own histories, paradoxes, methodologies, errors and dispositifs mutate the conditions of the distributions of sensibility and insensibility in the real, imaginary and virtual existential world. The question then arises what are the results of artistic research and experimentation when they crossover into the materialistic ontologies of cognitive psychology and neuroscience. What are the results. A deteritoiralization of neuroscience or an emancipatory materialism that embraces diversity as a means to produce complex brains and complex noologies: or history of thought images. Short Bio: Warren Neidich is a Berlin and Los Angeles based post-conceptual artist and theorist who explores the interfaces between cultural production especially as it responds to art and architecture, brain research and cognitive capitalism to produce a Emancipatory Materialism.
