As a part of their inquiry, the SLOW READERS are organizing a two-day event filled with afternoon collective readings and evening talks by guests Alicia Juarrero and Alexandra Mason. The aim is to sketch the scope and entanglement of AI systems to plot spaces of mobility, agency, and refusal.
Against the pace of infinite urgencies surrounding AI and gender inequality, the SLOW READERS have embraced deceleration. Their research is emergent, transdisciplinary, and at times, rubbing against the grain of linear logic. Rather than streamlining for clarity, SLOW READERS employ a range of reading methodologies to persistently move through and engage with the quagmire.
