Abstract:
The artist’s talk “Viable Planetarity” proposes to explore the symbiotic entanglement of our societies with the biosphere and the ways in which this pragmatic anchorage has become the core of an ecosystem of socio-political reinventions. Grounded in the artistic practice of the Disnovation.org collective, this presentation will test the virtues but also the limits of the notion of symbiosis.
Fossil fuel-doped modernity has succeeded in normalizing the ideology according to which human societies led by the technosphere are moving towards an ultimate detachment from the low constraints and limitations of the so-called “natural” world. Such constraints are now coming back to haunt us, imposing a radical reconnection with the physical, material, and living realities of the biosphere, on which we are entirely dependent. The artist’s talk “Viable
Planetarity” proposes to explore the symbiotic entanglement of our societies with the biosphere and the ways in which this pragmatic anchorage has become the core of an ecosystem of socio-political reinventions.Grounded in the artistic practice of the Disnovation.org collective, this proposal will test the virtues but also the limits of the notion of symbiosis. Understanding the differences between forced symbioses and sustainable symbioses will be the core driver of this artist talk, based on
a series of art-science installations developed over the past 3 years by the collective.Collective Disnovation.Org works at the interface between contemporary art, research & hacking. Their artistic provocations seek to empower post growth imaginaries and practices while challenging the widespread faith that economic growth and technofixes will solve the ecosystemic disruptions they produced in the first place.
