During the prediction error workshop by Brody Condon we will become elements of the hidden states underlying our delusions and hallucinations. After an introduction by cognitive neuroscientist Philip Corlett, Director of the Belief, Learning, and Memory Lab at Yale, we will simulate a predictive coding model. These models provide a mechanistic description of delusion formation as a result of overactive prediction error systems that can no longer accurately contextualize our surrounding environment.

Shifts in the narrative self, instigated by durational role play at the Berlin Biennale (Level Five, 2016); futuristic group encounter sessions led by a monumental sculpture at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (Future Gestalt, 2012); mortality salience experiments with participants at the Athens Biennale (Response Priming, 2018); existential therapy with craftspeople focused on objects relevant to their practice, such as bowl linked to a past trauma or a shaman’s fractured selves, at the Anyang Public Arts Project (Four Sessions, 2014).
These embodied but dematerialized works, often game-like and made in consultation with psychologists, consider the subjective experience of active participants not as a residual response to a constructed situation, but the medium itself. The locus of the work is the unseen. The artist here functions as a catalyst or a facilitator with the potential to offer the participating subjects critically reflective access to a specific experiential spectrum.

Philip Corlett
Philip Corlett trained in Experimental Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge. As director of the Belief, Learning, and Memory Lab at Yale he investigates the neural basis of human associative learning and belief formation, relating these processes to the formation of delusional beliefs. Dr. Corlett’s findings have shaped the development of a novel mechanistic model of delusion formation.
