More than Human: Making with the Living World at the Design Museum is also worth seeing.

designmuseum.org/exhibitions/m

But a quick heads-up: the subtitle is more accurate than the title. It’s really about making WITH the nonhuman - plants, animals, ecosystems - not BY the more-than-human. The human still takes centre stage. A missed opportunity, perhaps, to explore what truly more-than- or other-than-human design can look like.

Design MuseumMore than HumanA major exhibition bringing together art, science and radical thinking to ask how design can help our planet thrive by shifting its focus beyond human needs.

#introduction

👋 Hello kolektiva.social and Fediverse! New instance, new intro, etc. etc.

I'm a 🦵🏼 white 🇪🇺 European :queercat_enby: queer nonbinary male who's naive enough to think he can make the world a better place, yet cynical enough to joke about it.

I'm increasingly convinced that relentless activism and bottom-up change is the only way up for this wretched society. I'm mostly invested in climate activism (purely theoretically, of course), but I realize much more is needed.

In the process of turning from ally to accomplice.

I'm deeply into music, including but not limited to stoner doom, queercore, psychedelic cumbia, 70's funk, unorthodox black metal, hardcore punk and its offspring (NOT The Offspring), jazz (the weird kind), ambient, and anything with microtones. Yeah. This is why I dread the question "what music do you like?"

Oh yeah, I'm also a philosophy PhD in two deep deep rabbit holes: posthumanist environmentalism and eroticism/intimacy/nonmonogamy. Trying to make one tunnel system out of them.

I occasionally write musings on my blog carefullmusings.bearblog.dev/b, and I've published a few Dutch-language essays on bijnaderinzien.com/author/teun.

I also think FOSS and Linux are pretty cool – if not co-opted by obnoxious libertarians.

I'm happy to be on kolektiva.social mostly for the custom emoji (obviously).

"The Growing Political Fight Between Transhumanists & Posthumanists"

https://www.noemamag.com/a-new-political-compass/

> The politics of left versus right no longer make sense when the future of all earthly life is at stake.

This deep article which I recommend reading in its entirety, brings a new interesting division or, rather, axis, through which to measure one's political position. Instead of the typical right-wing vs left-wing, he proposes up-wing (which would be transhumanists in its extreme) vs down-wing (post-humanists in its extreme).
Seeing where we are moving to, I think this is a more useful way to look at politics. What do you think?

'It doesn’t matter what transformative anticapitalist, antiracist or antiheteropatriarchal ideas we profess in the content of our work. They can be inspired by Karl Marx, Audre Lorde, Gilles Deleuze, María Lugones, Walter Mignolo, Angela Davis, bell hooks, Alain Badiou, Donna Haraway, Silvia Federici, Byung-Chul Han, Benjamin Bratton … whoever. But when it comes to our knowledge-making practices – the taken-for-granted forms our writing takes, the habitual ways in which we disseminate and monetise it, the associated upholding of notions of individualism, human rights and property rights – we still have to operate according to what is actually a Euro-Western, modernist and middle-class, straight white male model of the humanities researcher.'

Latest title in Open Humanities Press's MEDIA : ART : WRITE : NOW series:

Masked Media: What It Means to Be Human in the Age of Artificial Creative Intelligence by Gary Hall

openhumanitiespress.org/books/

Open access
(= it can be downloaded for free)

If we want a socially and environmentally just future, do we need a radical new theory of change – or to radically change theory? It’s this question Gary Hall and his collaborators have been addressing for over 20 years with experimental projects such as OHP, Liquid and Living Books, and the Culture-Led Re-Commoning of Cities. Unsettling received ideas of the author and book, originality and copyright, real and artificial intelligence, these theorist-mediums test the ‘non-modernist-liberal’ modes of creating and sharing knowledge enabled by media technologies, from writing and print, through photography and video, to computers and GenAI.
