Can anyone translate this statement by António Cerveira Pinto into
plain speech?<br><br>
"What I meant by "cognitive issues" is not related so much
with "cognitive processes" as to "cognitive
environments". That is: BioArt (which is just a provisional safe
expression to deal with a much open field -- cognitive arts --) will not
go back to typical modern/contemporary de-constructivist strategies as
long as it keeps close to cognitive strategies, either performed by
humans alone, or by humans assisted by nanobots, computational networks
and so on. What I mean by "cognitive" in relation to art is the
need that post-contemporary art keep in mind that the new techne that
post-contemporary is a part of, cannot runway from knowledge and
cognitive strategies anymore."<br><br>
