When Do We Stop Being Human? Prefiguring Nonanthropocentric Thinking
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: The art collective Cesar & Lois (artists Lucy HG Solomon and Cesar Baio) discuss their artworks that explore networked growth as a logical system and form of thinking, incorporating living organisms such as Physarum polycephalum (slime mold) and fruiting mushrooms. Their artworks imagine a technological network built on a microbiological framework. The hybrid computational model they envision is linked to the ecosystemic logic of living systemsthe living network’s decisions are ecologically responsive. The artists seek to obtain knowledge across species and disciplines as they reconsider the nature of thought.
