Prof. Alex Taek-Gwang Lee’s (Kyung Hee University) lecture “Sympoietic weakness: on the relational technique” took place on January 30, 2025 at the Gdańsk University Library on the occasion of the launch of MORE-THAN-HUMAN STUDIES LAB at the University of Gdańsk.
Professor Lee’s talk, “Weak Technologies”, examined the relationship between humans and machines, calling for a shift away from technologies designed to dominate us (like AI) towards those that foster creativity and imagination.
MORE-THAN-HUMAN STUDIES LAB is a program of open, transnational cooperation between academia, artistic organizations and NGOs, which examines how we can create new, different scenarios of life on our planet in the turbulent times of the 21st century. The program coordinator is Dr. Irena Chawrilska.
