WHO WE ARE
DORIA J.D. / Founder
J.D Doria, founder of the Laboratory of Intelligence Culture, and Occupy the Mind Project – both being live traces of a lifetime of infiltration and research. As an artist he explores Generative Materiality and Material Cosmologies. As a ‘character’ in a story he plays the game of life to its liberating end and open-ended sense.
Sayfan, founder of the Laboratory of Intelligence Culture and avid researcher, in life and profession. She is a nomad of culture and knowledge, carrying the strictly necessary, merging a background in biophysics, complexity and design research as a raft to cross the torrents of thought, engaged relations, and learning via first hand experimentation. She teaches and collaborates at multiple universities.

Dance is for her not just a bodily expression, but a crucial entry point into human existence, that has implications beyond the dance floor and the studio. Mathilde sees the Lab as a space to explore the plurality of mind, while articulating it through all the senses at stake, sharing the experience of intelligence and reinventing it through what is moving inside. It brings up a breath into perceptions and knowledge as an ongoing process.

Narayan is a software architect and a pursuer of aesthetics in intelligent architecture (of any-thing). For her the Lab presents the possibility to create a pause in the organization of forces that maintain the existing architecture of Identity,
and saturate in experimental-experiential space of observation. In here experience can emerge, as an unpredictable fluctuation, from any ‘point’ within the space.
