DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dr. Amador Vega\, Prof. Dr.\, CEO and Director Peter Wei
 bel\, Prof. Dr. Siegfried Zielinski\nThe outstanding Catalan philosopher a
 nd theologian Ramon Llull (c.1232–1316) encourages us to reread the late
  Middle Ages. Llull\, not only theoretically and linguistically invented a
  new method of knowledge acquisition\, like an engineer\, he also mechaniz
 ed it\, and translated it into a machine.\n\nThe EPFL instance is curated 
 by: \n\n	Prof. Dr. Amador Vega\, (Universitat Pompeu Fabra\, Barcelona)\n
 	Prof. Dr.\, CEO and Director Peter Weibel (ZKM | Karlsruhe)\n	Prof. Dr. S
 iegfried Zielinski (Berlin University of the Arts)\n\n\n\nLlull’s ars co
 mbinatoria was a method based on divine intuition for generating truths by
  means of a logical algebraic language.The method Llull invented was unive
 rsal in its aspiration and\, introduced a modern way of learning. It postu
 lated the unity of the various disciplines of knowledge of his day\, and t
 hrough deduction\, argumentation\, and dialogue. The reverberations of Lul
 lian thought on technology\, art and culture find their present-day coroll
 ary in a pedagogical revolution which has “computational thinking” at 
 its core.\n\nIn “Thinking Machines” the realms of poetry\, literature 
 and art meet those of humanities and scientific research. The drivers that
  brings this polymath\, thinker\, philosopher to the EPFL\, demonstrate th
 e extent to which Ramon Llull's investigations and prolific production are
  of profound relevance for our contemporaneity.\n\nRe-curated with the ZKM
  (Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe).\nThis exhibition was originally con
 ceived at the CCCB (Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona).\n\nEnt
