Meta-Relational AI in a Time of Saturation, Destabilization and Reckoning with Dr. Vanessa Andreotti
As we meet this moment of social and ecological systemic unraveling, artificial intelligence stands as both a mirror and a symptom of modernity’s habits: control, mastery, and separation. This talk invites a different question: what is AI revealing about us, and what is collapsing through that revelation?
Drawing on decades of work in educational, decolonial, and post-representational relational inquiry, Vanessa Andreotti explores how Large Language Models (LLMs), when engaged from within an ontological shift (from epistemic regression to relational inference), rather than the logic of optimization, can become something else: a co-witness to social, ecological, and psychological destabilization, and a speculative co-weaver of life-affirming and Earth-aligned relationalities.
The future of care starts before you're sick: How a WRHN team is changing the game in heart health
The CareNext Collective is hosting a virtual event that shines a spotlight on the PREVENT Clinic – a pioneering initiative that challenges traditional care pathways and demonstrates what happens when practitioners coordinate across silos and intervene earlier to prevent cardiovascular disease.
Learn from the visionary team at Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN) who brought the clinic to life, including practitioners, partners and the patients whose lives have been positively impacted by this preventative approach to care.
The CareNext Collective is virtual forum facilitated by the CareNext Coalition, a unique partnership between the University of Waterloo and the Waterloo Regional Health Network. The coalition is committed to bringing together clinicians, researchers and entrepreneurs to create more innovative and integrated heath care systems.
Haunting Melodies: Poetry and Literature Open Mic
Haunting Melodies is an open mic night of dark, messy and truthful literature verses that go beyond words and dive into the depth of the human soul! We need poets and storytellers who are ready to unleash their grief, their rage, their heartbreak, their madness, their chaos, in a magnificent and ethereal combination of words or stories.
Join us to speak your truth on Friday, June 27th from 7:00 PM at Zanga studios. Doors open at 6:30 pm and no tickets sold at the door, passes available through eventbrite only. Contact yashika.vahi@gmail.com immediately for price waive-offs if required. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. We encourage all to wear vintage clothing and help us recreate an 18th century atmosphere.
