Es Devlin owns a really great bell. It’s a singing bowl – originally used in Buddhist chanting rituals but now found in most quality yoga classes. This particular bell hits just the right frequency to make my temples vibrate pleasantly and, from the way the others gathered around the workbench at Oxford Kilns fall silent when Devlin strikes it, I don’t think I’m alone in feeling my head go ping.
Devlin is calling order on a group of artists, AI researchers, spiritual leaders, academics and experts from global tech gathered at the kilns to discuss AI and make pots at the AI and Earth conference organised by the artist and stage designer.
