PLEASE FORGET (EVERYTHING) [Charles Lindsay Solo Exhibition]

For our final exhibition of the year, we will be hosting PLEASE FORGET (EVERYTHING), by contemporary artist Charles Lindsay. This exhibition merges the ancient wisdom of Zen Buddhism with current questions on AI consciousness: Can AI become sentient? If sentient, can it become conscious? If conscious, can it reach enlightenment? And what would this mean for humanity?
The stage for this conversation will be set between three different venues: within Kyoto's Ryosoku-in Temple, the Kura Monzen Gallery, also in Kyoto, and Heron Arts in San Francisco.

The exhibition at Kura Monzen Gallery will run from Saturday, November 16th to Sunday, December 15th.

Charles Lindsay is an intermedia artist whose work synthesizes ideas about time, technology, ecosystems, and semiotics. Lindsay creates immersive environments, sound installations, and sculptures, assembled from aerospace and bio-tech salvage and ancient artifacts. Educated as an archaeologist, Charles is a Guggenheim Fellow and founder of SETI AIR (the SETI Institute's Artists in Residence Program). He has interfaced with NASA Ames, Bell Labs, and MIT Media Lab. His eighth book, Recipes for the Mind, is an abstract autobiography published by Terranova/MIT Press. His work is in numerous private and museum collections and in several middens. Lindsay is currently engaged in consciousness research at Ryosoku-in Zen Temple in Kyoto with a focus on artificial intelligence, concepts of enlightenment, and cross-cultural exchange.
