The Sophistication Conferences are organised once a
year at the Technical University Vienna, as a
cooperation between the Department for Architecture
Theory and Philosophy of Technics ATTP and the
chair for CAAD ETH Zurich, where we invite distinguished
as well as young scholars from dierent
fields to think about how such »architectonic
intellectuality« aects our relations to the world at
large – our institutions, as well as our ordinary daily
lives.
How can we find a novel understanding of
human intellectuality in co-existence with
artificial intelligence? The Sophistication
Conferences are dedicated to a basic kind
of literacy in how to think about coding as
an "alloy-praxis" that glues letters with
numbers, physics with information,
mathematics with language. If the digital
has placed us in an era of New Sophistics,
we need an up-to-date corresponding
discourse on Sophistication. At the core
of such a new materialist literacy is a
di erent relationality among time, nature,
subject, and object : Hence our interest is
in a »digital gnomonics« that could
provide a theoretical framework for
addressing computational modelling,
machine learning and algorithmic
reasoning in a manner that will eventually
propel and facilitate ethics,
not moralism.

Circuitous articulations that matter.
