Decorative Buddhas
​​Tibetan Banners on Swiss Summit Crosses and Decorative Buddha Lamps: Research and Belief of an Art Historian

In the last years, a curious development has taken place in the daily display of religious images. Instead of the once ubiquitous garden leprechauns, for example, we now see Buddhist deities springing up on balconies and in gardens. In fact, such icons can be seen lined up in department stores, in all colors and sizes. Again, when ascending Swiss mountains, we now see Tibetan prayer flags draped around summit crosses. How are we to understand this great proliferation of religious images around us, especially as they seem to be largely unrelated to the the corresponding spread of religious beliefs do not spread accordingly? How should we deal with with the icons and deities of other religions with which we may not share in belief? And how shouldcan a practicing Christian teach the art history of Buddhist imagery, or indeed, tangible manifestations of any other religion to his or her students? These and other questions will be explored in a discussion of case studies and themesdiscussed based on a career as an art historian of East Asian art.

Playing God? Towards machines that deny their maker
In the 90's, I set out to create technology that has the skills of emotional intelligence. Today, technology is acquiring the capability to sense and respond skilfully to human emotion, and in some cases to act as if it has emotional processes that make it more intelligent. What is driving this progress?I'll give examples of the potential for good with this technology in helping people with autism, epilepsy, and mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression. However, the possibilities are much larger: Affect sensing is being used to make ads less boring, and to sell more products. Social robots will need emotional intelligence, including the ability to read our emotions in our private homes, in order to not annoy us. Some organizations want to sense human emotion without people knowing or consenting, for example, to detect terrorists in public settings. A few scientists want to build computers that are vastly superior to humans, capable of powers beyond reproducing their own kind. What do we want to see built? And, how might we make sure that new affective technologies make human lives better?
