Abstract:
Leading edge artistic research often acts as “intelligent probes”, implanted at the spatial and temporal boundaries of human physical and mental viability. These probes tell us about the nature and adequacy of our assimilative capabilities and our potential inventive adaptability. Tied closely to technology, they become a most fundamental extension of the living through logics of proliferation, of biodiversification and exploration which respond to the vital and essential principles of self-reproduction, regulation and learning… This short presentation will attempt to clarify some of their symptomatic aspects.
