Following the dialogue, there is a speech explaining an AI development\/evaluation technique that is a conceptual realization of mine, based on the process of Mind Uploading.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u0007\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Specific questions are asked in order to stimulate the prefrontal cortex of the AI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s brain where the philosophical reasoning engine is situated. Hence, this post-stimulation state enables a stage for development; data is transmitted and certain philosophical questions are asked to monitor and study the AI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s orchestration of thoughts\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\u0007\u00e2\u20ac\u0153When it comes to determining certain criterias for the evaluation of the AI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s output there occurs a thin line between considering the interwining and clashing ideas and effects of empiricism and rationalism\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, speech is transformed in various ways to metaphorically depict the flow of data transfer inherent in the process of mind uploading.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nature<\/strong><br \/>\nSeptember 2012.<\/p>\n<p>The first group of sounds is from parts of a 21 km bicycle road that begins from Bostanl\u00c4\u00b1 (the district where I live in \u00c4\u00b0zmir) to the Park of Natural Life in Sasal\u00c4\u00b1-\u00c3\u2021i\u00c4\u0178li, the biggest zoo in Turkey. The bicycle road follows a coastline that is a protected area for various species of birds. The second group of sounds was recorded at Dalyan, a lovely town in the Mu\u00c4\u0178la Province, located between the well known districts of Marmaris and Fethiye on the south-west coast of Turkey. Life in Dalyan revolves around the Dalyan \u00c3\u2021ay\u00c4\u00b1 River which flows past the town. The boats that ply up and down the river are the preffered means of transportation to all local sites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>City I<\/strong><br \/>\nJanuary 2013. Composed via computer, radio and no-input mixing board. Text: Extract from the Atrocity Exhibition by J.G. Ballard. Speech: Cem G\u00c3\u00bcney.<\/p>\n<p>In CITY I, the city is portrayed around the notion of certain interferences. A city has its own particular dynamics, however interferences are abstract realities that can be interpreted differently according to an individual\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s experience of those dynamics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>City II<\/strong><br \/>\nNovember 2012. Composed via computer, radio and no-input mixing board.<\/p>\n<p>CITY II projects the transition from the macro to the micro-elements of the city. These elements are utilized overtly and covertly, as much as their characteristics enable to transform themselves. This transformation reflects the personalization of the city.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Water-Nature-City\u00e2\u20ac\u009d was composed and recorded by Cem G\u00c3\u00bcney, mastered by Miguel Carvalhais, with cover art by Alessandro Segalini.<\/p>\n<p>You can download \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Water-Nature-City\u00e2\u20ac\u009d from Cr\u00c3\u00b3nica\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s <a href=\"http:\/\/cronica.bandcamp.com\">bandcamp page<\/a>, from <a href=\"http:\/\/boomkat.com\/downloads\/796627-cem-g-ney-water-nature-city\">Boomkat<\/a> or other selected retailers in a variety of formats!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the acclaimed \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Praxis\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, Cr\u00c3\u00b3nica is very proud to present Cem G\u00c3\u00bcney&#8217;s new release, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Water-Nature-City\u00e2\u20ac\u009d!
