ThinkArtificial.org is about the world we are creating. The artificial. From thinking machines to design, through architecture and all the way back to the machines we call our species.

Our capabilities are advancing at an enthralling rate through technology and science. It’s very easy to forget, or to see without thinking, that never has technology advanced so rapidly or information spread as fast. Think Artificial explores this evolution.

The Shape of Things

Our creations are becoming increasingly intertwined with computer science. Technology dictates our communal character. The figure represents a part of the artificial spectrum; the background circles are super-categories, living things at the core — biological or not — distinguishable from the environment by their intellectual prowess.

Intelligence is explored through artificial intelligence and computation, because creating an intelligent entity equates understanding intelligence.

We create complex machinery and through it understand our own.

I’m yours truly. And in short, I’m interested in everything new. Or going further, everything that could materialize in the future — some would call me a futurist. Or an idealist. Or simply a thinker. I’m a 1400g Crimson Jelly with an active imagination, and I’m not afraid to use it.

Onto facts. I study Computer Science at Reykjavik University (RU) with an emphasis on artificial intelligence — fields that have my attention for a number of reasons. Essentially that AI potentially entails mass producing intelligence.

Freaked out by my name? It’s Icelandic and literally means raven. That’s me in the Fight Club spoof above.

Q&A

• Q: Why is that silly naked Fight Club picture of you there?

A: Because the next page shows me shaking hands with The President. I think it’s an intriguing combination.

• Q: Are you getting paid to write?

A: I don’t get paid for writing articles, and quality dictates coverage here — not cash. But I do have ads on the front page which I get pocket change for to pay hosting and domain fees.

• Q: Can I download the site’s theme somewhere?

A: No. I designed the site’s theme specifically for the site and all icons and images are copyrighted. But there’s more to it that you can read in the public announcement.

You can read more about me here, or catch up with me around the web: Twine, 9rules or Twitter (RSS).
