Lan Gen Bah *Singapore 1948 Largely unknown in the Asia Pacific Region, from the period of her parents' diplomatic and research mission in the U. S. during the 1950s, under the State sponsorship of Liu Shiao-Ch'i and Lin Piao, Lan's mother's (Chiang Mo-Jo) research into the cognitive basis of Maoist "Thought Work" (Sixiang Gounzuo), and its relationship to the development of Artificial Intelligence, Minsky's "society of mind theory, and theories of 'massive connectivism'. Professor Lan's presently researches with a circle of 'cognitive artists and theorists', working in cybernetics, AI, social linguistics, conceptual art, and propaganda theory. L. G. B. is author of a number of books on the psychodynamics of indoctrinal processes. In 1991, she proposed that culture is produced perfomatively ... as a rapidly decaying mnemonic loop, manifesting in our experience as a temporal gap of +/-15 to 50 milliseconds, the periodicity of a percept's manifestation, recognition, and decay in the cerebral cortex. Duchamp's delay has its origins in cognitive performance. "The cognitive delay is the negative which makes Duchamp's delay possible. Propaganda is a fetishisation of interpellation, that is, the now precious re-performance of the ideological recognition (or hailing) of another." (2000) |
