Notes:
Track 1 - context:
Les. Více-než-lidská zvědavost
les-woods.net/cs/projects/1
29.07. Orlicke Hory (in the woods)
One part of humankind is dependent on technologies that help us maintain a responsible relationship between our present, past, and future. Another part fears a future in which superintelligence will take over running the world. Through the lens of speciesism, we study how human beings have divided the family of animals, singled themselves out, and put themselves on top. They have also put the artificial intelligence they created into the domain of the “other”. How does research on the neuroplasticity of the brain (not just human, but also animal), memory, creativity, neuro- and roboethics, and neuroethology fit into processes of return to the more-than-human community? This is the subject of the two-year project Woods: More-than-Human Curiosity.
Extract from live recording of performance carried in tent, incorporating surrounding environment, including people, insects and in last segment also sudden stormy rain.
