Our partners

Agnieszka Kurant was born in 1978 in Lodz, Poland. She lives and works in New York. Agnieszka Kurant is a conceptual artist who explores collective intelligence, the future of work and creativity, and exploitation in surveillance capitalism. She is currently an Artist Fellow at the Berggruen Institute's Transformations of the Human program and was an artist in residency at MIT CAST from 2017 to 2019. 

 

Agnieszka Kurant is working on the production of the short film entitled Singular Plural around cultural changes in our societies, various forms of subjectivity and the future of work and creativity. The film will question the role of crowds as goods in the economy of late capitalism, the self as a polyphony of agency, as well as human and non-human intelligences, from microbes to viruses to animals, social movements and artificial intelligence.

 

Her research focuses on the transformations of the human being and the self-organization of communities to reconstruct the commons. Through this project, Agnieszka Kurant is also interested in the future of cinema and cultural production in general, based on complex and collective forms.
