Model is the Message: Incredible Machines Conference 2022 examines the possibilities and limits of models as they pertain to technological developments in the fields of computer science, design, architecture art, and literature. Contributors, in their own way, reformulate the function of models not just as developmental blueprints but as technologies to project innovative ideas for future access and implementation. As the culmination of the Incredible Machine Conference 2022 held last September, the contributions incorporate many of the conversations that took place during the event. Opening with “The Model is the Message” by Benjamin Bratton and Blaise Agüera y Arcas as the main motivator for many of the discussions, the texts range from exploring the role of modeling for understanding and implementing intelligence to how certain models shape our contemporary experience of the world while addressing questions of aesthetics, technology, media, cybernetics, curating, political economy, the planetary, and the limits of modeling as such. Model is the Message: Incredible Machines Conference 2022 was produced through the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts and Richmond Art Gallery
