Nexus:
Some scientists believe that ‘collective intelligence’ is a shared or group intelligence that emerges from the collaboration, collective efforts, and competition of many individuals. This can be linked with the idea of a ‘global brain’ . As the Internet grows, connections are made, which increasingly tie its users together into a single information processing system that functions as the hypothetical nervous system of the planet. The intelligence of this network is collective or distributed: it is not centralized or localized in any particular individual, organization or computer system. Therefore, no one can command or control it. Rather, it self-organizes or emerges from the dynamic networks of interactions between its components. These ‘Nexus’ experiments are the first stage in the exploration of the application of collective intelligence and the global brain to the process of art. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Nexus 1 series of experiments started in November 2015, with a number of small groups using the Internet to connect and work together as single entities, following very simple rules of abstraction to create unique artworks. More experiments will follow in 2016 with exhibitions on the Internet, and at the Oxford Riverside Gallery, and the Fraser Gallery.
