Session 1<\/strong>
On November 24, Lundahl & Seitl, Untold Garden, and a reference group gathered in the library of Magasin III. After the artists\u2019 introductions to the work Garden of Ghost Flowers,<\/em> which is under process, philosopher Peter Godfrey-Smith gave a digital lecture from his home in Sydney. He explained his materialistic theory on how consciousness \u00ad\u2013 defined as the ability to have a subjective or perceptible experience \u2013 occurs gradually in organisms; a process that gives rise to states where consciousness is in part present, in part absent.

If the basis for experience is a collection of slowly-evolving abilities that enable animals to sense events around them and adaptively respond, then we have to grapple with the fact that this toolkit has forms in animals with very simple nervous systems, in non-neural multicellular organisms (sponges, plants, fungi), and in unicellular life. Do those creatures, too, have tiny scraps of consciousness? The view seems to lead to a kind of radical inclusiveness. <\/em>
