EDITORIAL<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Readers!
\n\u201cEvery time needs its utopia(s). A society that does no longer reflect its development is uncanny, a monstrosity. However, utopian speculation is rather dubious today. [\u2026] Utopian thinking seems na\u00efve, dangerous hubris.\u201d (1) Today, Zaha Hadid and Patrik Schumacher\u2019s plea, formulated more than twenty years ago, seems more topical, their demand more urgent than ever: the horror scenarios in the face of climate collapse, wars, and conflicts\u2014accompanied by rapid developments in the field of artificial intelligence, which currently (still?) remain unreflected (see the interview with Petra Schaper Rinkel, pp. 64ff.)\u2014are so present that the notion of utopia has something anachronistic about it.
\nThe artist group alien productions, which is at the center of this issue\u2019s focus \u201cAI Meets Art,\u201d also notes that, due to the omnipresence of artificial intelligence, big data, and deep learning, \u201cthe future has lost everything worth striving for. It has become a place of vague fears.\u201d(2) For Martin Breindl, Norbert Math, and Andrea Sodomka, the artists behind the collective, the demand is simple and obvious: \u201cWhat we need are better utopias.\u201d With Performing Utopia, an AI opera for which artificial intelligences were specially trained using historical utopian texts and in the performance of which human and artificial voices then interact, they attempt to create a \u201cmusical-philosophical dispute about worlds of possibilities,\u201d using precisely the technology that, \u201cdepending on how you look at it, augments or threatens human intelligence\u201d\u2014a fantastic undertaking that is then historically localized in a detailed essay by Merzmensch (pp. 54ff.). Performing Utopia has thus indeed become a hybrid of human and artificial intelligences and perceptions: \u201cIn the sense of a posthumanistic ecology, namely the realization that only intelligent networks remain capable of survival\u2014regardless of whether humans are involved in them or not.\u201d
