Essay/Article from House Oversight Committee Evidence (Page 144)
View

This document is a page from an essay titled 'Making the Invisible Visible: Art Meets AI' by Hans Ulrich Obrist, likely part of a larger compilation submitted as evidence to the House Oversight Committee. The text discusses the intersection of art and technology, referencing Marshall McLuhan and Nam June Paik, and recounts the author's conversations with cyberneticist Heinz von Foerster regarding the complementary nature of science and art. While the document bears a House Oversight footer commonly associated with Epstein-related investigations (likely due to Edge.org connections), this specific page contains no direct mentions of Jeffrey Epstein.
