\u201cInteractive Art and Posthuman\nthought\u201d combines theory (lectures and in-class text commentaries) and practice\n(drawing networked diagrams) to illustrate the relationship between the\nevolution of interactive art -interfacing humans with machines- and the development\nof new frames of thought related with posthumanism and post-anthropocentrism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This workshop aims to build a\ndiagrammatics of the emergent system of thought named posthumanism to bring it\ncloser to the art practice. Rosi Braidotti defines the posthuman turn as the\nconvergence of posthumanism with post-anthropocentrism and relates it to the\nmaterialist philosophy by Deleuze and Guattari, the influence of indigenous\nphilosophy and the feminist thought – represented by authors as Elizabeth Grosz,\nKaren Barad, Donna Haraway and Elizabeth Povinelly. Besides, to this evolution,\nwe could add the influence of cybernetics in the thought of Simondon -also\ninfluencing Deleuze- and Katerine Hayles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work of these thinkers has\nevolved parallelly to artistic practice. The evolution of interactive art is\nbridged with the experimentation with new technologies and the proposal of\nforms of interfacing humans with machines. It shaped new systems of knowledge,\ninformation structures that progressively became embodied in computerized\nelectrotechnical systems and hybridised with the human. These extensions of our\nbody and intellect have evolved from the proposal of cyborgs to the creation of\na new artificially intelligent other, the source of deep mediatization and\ncontrol, otherwise a new creative collaborator. Artistic artworks had\nexemplified and accompanied this evolution showing the changes in the\ndefinition of the human, the environment and knowledge. We can quote the\ndematerialized networked cyborgs created by Tina Laporta, the cyborgian\nimmersive representations by Jill Scott, the immersive spaces of knowledge\ncreated by Monika Fleishman and Wolfang Strauss or the Knowbotic Research Group\nfinally, the autonomous interactive dancing entities by Simon Penny or the more\nrecent co-singer trained by Tommony Adachi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This workshop consists of two\nsessions. Each one including a short theoretical introduction illustrated with\nthe commentary of artworks; a text commentary and practical work based on the\nmethodology of diagrammatics -developed accordingly the definition of Deleuze\nand Guattari. In the sessions, the students will learn about the evolution of\nposthuman thought concerning art practice and will develop diagrams -working in\ngroups and based in previously offered texts – of the posthuman conglomerates\nacting in our environment, acquiring an understanding of how they affect\ndifferentiated fields of our reality as the epistemology, finance, health and\nthe human body, or the Anthropocene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
