N2 - Improvising Consciousness: The Davian Turn is an experimental work of intermedia performance: a cognitive science fiction which addresses questions of situated consciousness, pre- & post-human identity, and creativity. The core of Improvising Consciousness: The Davian Turn project is a performative lecture by Jennifer Årnstay, Professor of Material and Analogical Eco-Cognition visiting from an unspecified time and place. The lecture purports to be a scholarly account of the history and future of the human mind. With incredible technical sophistry, Professor Årnstay and her team have fabricated a habitat for a real life extraterrestrial alien intelligence. After the lecture and questions, attendees are invited to plumb the depths of this alien mind by playing the mysterious Davian Bead Game. The creative team are members of The Intermedia Performance Studio which has a track record of producing innovative syntheses of computer-based technology and live performance.
