EVERYTHING IS OK AND REAL-ISH: HYPER WAR AND MEANING PRODUCTION is a learning and sharing session hosted by the artist and researcher Jenna Jauhiainen.
The topic of this session is hyper war, a term here defined as artificial intelligence driven warfare.
AI is increasingly being utilised in various weapon systems, from vehicles and robots to information operations, i.e. propaganda. Hyper war also blends with other contemporary forms of war, such as cyber and hybrid war. As these new forms of war rely on speed, smokescreens and secrecy, we arguably need to think about the meaning production around the future wars.
How should we talk about war when war has essentially become a hyperreal construction?
