⚆◟⚆◉‿◉ᵔ◡ᵔMEET @ PIER 57 INDOOR MARKET!!!
A walking salon exploring what parts of human struggle, inefficiency, and learning are worth preserving in the age of AI. Join us in “choosing to walk” while discussing topics like how to cultivate genuine curiosity in an age of instant answers, or how play brings motivation to learning.

As Rayne Fisher-Quann writes, walking is “rarely the most popular, the most effective, or the most efficient way of getting to your destination….When you choose to walk, you choose not to pursue immediate gratification or even comfort but simply to expand the number of things that might happen to you. Walking invests in the potentiality of your experience with almost no promise of tangible reward at all, which is something like being alive."
Practice what you discuss, walking and reflecting on our unquestioned ideals of convenience and innovation, hopefully leading to a better collective sense of what separates our humanity from AI.
Discussion questions are forthcoming! Check out the event album for the map with timestamps :)
