In this lecture, Ègor Kraft presents Knowlegistics / Cognitectures as a speculative framework for understanding how knowledge systems and computational architectures increasingly intertwine.
Moving between media theory, critical design, and contemporary AI discourse, the talk examines how cognition is not only modeled by technology but gradually embedded within infrastructural systems that shape perception, decision-making, and cultural memory. Rather than treating “knowledge” as a static repository, the lecture approaches it as an evolving logistical field - distributed across machines, institutions, and symbolic regimes.
The session situates artistic and research-based practices within broader questions of epistemology, automation, and the shifting boundaries between human and machine cognition.
