Art for Nons is a dynamic and international collective of artist-researchers and other-than-human companions, represented by Lea Luka Sikau (DE), Denisa Půbalová (CZ), and Antje Jacobs (BE). It explores in-between spaces that got rendered invisible as art spaces and opens them up for multisensory, nonhuman interaction. In times when the devastating effects of anthropocentrism are ubiquitous, our vision is to let the human collide with narratives that are not meant for their consumption. We fuse speculative fiction with nonhuman agency to create interactive audio-visual installations.
Our collective is shaped by the technologies and other-than-human species we work with. Our human members are working in-between critical posthumanism, artistic research, and media art. Lea Luka Sikau is an artist-researcher who focuses on the rehearsal in new music and critical posthuman theory in her PhD at the University of Cambridge. Denisa Půbalová is an interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of art and science, particularly on ecologies of relations. Antje Jacobs is a researcher at KU Leuven and the University of Melbourne. Her research focuses on the onto-epistemic potential of bio art to stimulate sustainable speculations and imaginaries of climate futures and justice.
