Bea’s Back!

UNDERSTANDING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FROM ENTHUSIASM TO DANGEROUS APATHIC INDIFFERENCE
AND FEAR

AI, or the ability of digital computers or computer-controlled robots
to perform tasks usually associated with human intelligence,
is developing extremely rapidly
into a new era of intellectual, and now emotional processes,
usually characteristic of humans.

In simple words, AI is the science of making machines
that can think, and now feel, like humans.

In this humble attempt to understand AI,
Bea will disclose the pros and cons of this advanced technology,
emphasizing the essential need for some sort of what she calls
“ETHICAL CONTROL MODEL,” without which we are doomed
to a future of human zombies and killing machines.

Bea will begin this investigation with a brief history
of our human infatuation with the Machine,
and the invention of the “0,” which propelled us
into what we are now witnessing in this technological journey,
what she likes to refer to as “THE APPRENTICE SORCERER DANGER.”

Doors open at 3:30 pm.
Wine and soft drinks will be available for purchase.

Non member spices will be $300MXN
Member prices $200MXN

FRACTALS: ORGANIC SACRED GEOMETRY IN LIFE, NATURE, AND ART

Our understanding of Chaos Theory is moving away from randomness and disorder,
toward a higher form of organic order, an order of disorder if you like,
that drives and structures everything alive,
and everything we humans have created.

EVERYTHING IS LINKED…

Ever wondered what is at the core of it all?
What links the universe, us, DNA, a broccoli, a Baobab, lightning, blood vessels,
the nervous system, brains, corals, cabbages, desert cracked soil,
elephant skin, mountain ranges, paper folds, a leaf, a wave, a snow flake, a flower?
Ever wondered about the similarities between tortoise shell patterns, spider webs,
minerals and tree trunks? Between Gothic, Islamic and Buddhist architecture? Between
Indian fabric designs, Art nouveau wall paper, Celtic calligraphy, Persian rugs and
Tibetan Mandalas?

FRACTALS, my friends, FRACTALS are the core of it all!

Doors open at 3:30 pm.
Wine and soft drinks will be available for purchase.

Non members $300MXN
Members $200MXN
