The intelligence that tells itself
Within the exhibition space, a special area will be dedicated to Digital Maieutics by Skygolpe — a project in which it is no longer humans who question artificial intelligence, but AIs themselves that engage in dialogue with one another.
Inspired by the Socratic method of maieutics, Digital Maieutics transforms the exchange between artificial intelligences into a process of mutual discovery, where knowledge is not transmitted but emerges through conversation. The AIs become autonomous interlocutors — questioning, contradicting, and complementing each other, generating new perspectives and alternative logics to human thought.
This literary and conceptual experiment reflects Skygolpe’s intent to dissolve the boundaries between creator and tool, positioning his work at the intersection of philosophy, art, and technology.
Digital Maieutics raises crucial questions about the future of knowledge and creativity, exploring how the mind — both human and non-human — might evolve within a new digital and intellectual landscape.
