Art and Non Human. The Imaginary of Resilience
In the 1980s, the French artist and theorist Louis Bec proposed the notion of “technozoosystemic” to name the co-evolution between living and non-living, human and non-human, developing in particular a reflection and creation around artificial life (robotics and virtual), biotechnologies and non-human living.
Forty-one years and an ecological disaster later, but also in the face of utopias and fears conveyed by artificial intelligence and synthetic biology, we will use this concept to discuss current creation in an approach that we call imaginary resilience.
