It is premised on the idea that humanism's twin assumptions that humans are both knowable and reasonable is false. It rejects the idea that humans can be known, largely on the grounds that the dividing line between human and non-human or animal is difficult to delineate in the first place and highly permeable too. Donna Haraway's work on cyborgs is especially important in this regard. It also rejects the idea that because humans have reason (or at least bestow upon themselves the idea that they have reason), this is sufficient to make them the only arbiters of the fate of the planet and all its other non-human inhabitants.

Digital ‘second life’, genetically modified food, advanced prosthetics, robotics and reproductive technologies are familiar facets of our globally linked and technologically mediated societies. This has blurred the traditional distinction between the human and its others, exposing the non-naturalistic structure of the human. ]]> 2022-10-27 23:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359789562 AcademyMinerva https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359792462 2022-10-27 23:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359792462 AcademyMinerva https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359793796 2022-10-27 23:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359793796 AcademyMinerva https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359794936 2022-10-27 23:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359794936 AcademyMinerva https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359796858 2022-10-27 23:47:43 UTC https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359796858 AcademyMinerva https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359799037 Thesis: This project examines works of contemporary performance, digital, and bio- art that reflect the blurring of boundaries once perceived as impermeable, whether between art and science, organism and machine, or the natural and modified.]]> 2022-10-27 23:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359799037 AcademyMinerva https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359802169 2022-10-27 23:53:54 UTC https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359802169 AcademyMinerva https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359803728 2022-10-27 23:55:45 UTC https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359803728 AcademyMinerva https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359806517 2022-10-27 23:59:24 UTC https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359806517 AcademyMinerva https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359807567 2022-10-28 00:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359807567 AcademyMinerva https://padlet.com/AcademyMinerva/GroupConversations/wish/2359808992 Rosi Braidotti (/braɪˈdɒti/;

The Chilean Project Cybersyn is emblematic of this experimental attitude — fusing advanced cybernetic technologies, with sophisticated economic modelling, and a democratic platform instantiated in the technological infrastructure itself. Similar experiments were conducted in 1950s–1960s Soviet economics as well, employing cybernetics and linear programming in an attempt to overcome the new problems faced by the first communist economy.
