By:Conceptual artist Agnieszka Kurant’s work alongside newly commissioned texts by renowned thinkers across science, philosophy, technology, anthropology, and economics.
Collective Intelligence is an innovative monograph that documents the last ten years of Polish-born conceptual artist Agnieszka Kurant’s interdisciplinary practice. It includes newly commissioned texts by renowned thinkers in science, philosophy, art, technology, anthropology, and economics.
Kurant’s experimental work investigates collective and nonhuman intelligences and their impact on transformations of the human, the future of labor and creativity, and the exploitations within digital capitalism. Questioning the ideology of individualism, Kurant proposes that we rethink human and more-than-human worlds from a perspective of plural subjectivity, and, through this fundamental shift in perspective, posits the possibility of alternative political imaginaries. Her work probes the replacement of individual authorship with collective intelligence—a phenomenon observed in slime molds, termite colonies, social movements, cities, the internet, and inside our brains.
In her collaborative practice, the artist investigates artificial intelligence, emergence, cybernetics, automation, artificial life, mining industries, and energy circuits to explore our collective evolution and the shifting status of objects in relation to agency, value, circulation, and redistribution. Through crowdsourcing the production of her artworks to thousands of humans and nonhumans, Kurant creates unstable, hybrid forms that constantly evolve. Her works, oscillating between biological, digital, and geological, embody the crumbling distinctions between what is natural and artificial, real and synthetic, and life and nonlife.
Dispersed throughout the book, the Phenomena section adopts a quasi-encyclopedic format to highlight and expand on Kurant’s research on collective intelligence.

Best for small inquisitive dogs
This dog puzzle worked.for.abput a day until our lab decided it was easier to just chew on it until it gave up the treats. The outer ring of yellow sliders were good.but the red required interactive manipulation of the center sections that only frustrated our lab to the point where she just picked it up to chew and drop until it gave up the treats. Great idea, but not for a brute-force attack! I will say the plastic sliders have held up longer than expected but in the end our lab just had fun chewing it while carrying across the yard. She did enjoy it initially but I think grew bored or maybe frustrated with it. Probably best left to smaller breeds to fidget with.

Good intermediate smart toy
This has become one of my puppy's favorite boy's. He is so smart and flustered through the beginning interactive toys quick. I got him this one next. The design is good. He did get through some ok, but got frustrated early with the harder ones. Started flipping and chewing it. It wasnt easy to chew through but did snap a few hinges. Stubborn dog, but still enjoying it. . It moves easily and does stimulate him to think.
Great toy especially for smart dogs. Mine is just too impatient and growls at it.

Great toy
Color: Yellow
My dog loved this! Kept him entertained for some time. Only problem I had was trying to unscrew the ends after he was done so I could clean it (my dog slobers a lot lol). With him playing and trying to chew it made the ends tighten more. But over all great toy!

Fun toy!
Color: Yellow
It was funny to see how my cat figured out how to roll the toy to get treats out. Great idea that makes your pet work a little for a reward.
