The project “Posthumanism and Contemporary Art Practices” (principal investigator Audronė Žukauskaitė; researcher Denis Petrina) aims to investigate contemporary art practices through the lens of posthumanist theories.
The project will focus on the concepts of cognition and affect in order to understand how human and non-human forms of cognition – both organic and technological – interact within the field of the artwork. The research is based on the premise that both human and non-human intelligence function as self-organizing recursive systems that actively transform their environments.
