Change and Extinction.
Käthe Wenzel/Manfred Blohm (eds.) Fabrico Verlag Hannover, 2018.
Machine-Organisms, organic machines: The dissolution of boundaries between
bodies and technology is becoming part of everyday life with feeling prosthesis,
neuro implants and neuroenhancement - posthumanism. Even the extinction
of the species supposedly be solved by synthetic and mechanical Ersatz-species.
What are the artistic perspectives on these developments? What kind of
threats and promises are being negotiated here?
41 artistic positions from 15 countries provide critical and visionary
views onto socio-emotional service machines - prxies and social crutches;
Ersatz: Machine environments and artificial organisms; Utopia: Prosthesis,
Utopian Instruments and substitute bodies; Connection: Mediator machines
and trans-species communication; Autonomous and obsolete machines, past
cultures of machines.
