Artist Statement:
The collective Art for Nons proposes posthuman interventions to artistic research processes, produc-tion phases and exhibition cultures. Art for Nons creates art not only with technology and biology, but wonders about multispecies perspectives on art. As a collective of artist-researchers and their more-than-human companions, it explores in-between spaces that got rendered invisible at art spaces and opens them up for multisensory, nonhuman interactions. In times when the devastating effects of the capitalocene 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 for technology and biology alike. In our artistic research process, we reassemble the relations between machines, other-than-human species, and humans to make the art world less of an ouroboros and more of an octopus.
