    Viroid Life

    Excerpt from the article “Viroid Life. On machines, technics, and evoIution”, in Viroid Life: Perspectives on Nietzsche and the Transhuman Condition, K. Ansell-Pearson, Routledge, London, 1997, pp. 145-150 Philosophies of Difference, particularly through the efforts of Deleuze and Guattari, have offered new perspectives in respect to the question of technology, freeing it from the biologising […]

    The Killing of a Sacred Whale

    An encounter takes place off the northern coast of Europe. It has as its subject the Grindadráp, the ancient and sacred Fær Øer Islands’ whaling, and it tells of the tension between modernity and tradition, between myth and efficiency, progress and identity. Chaosmotics continues to expand its analysis on mythopoiesis through this excerpt by Nicklas […]

    Myth and Mass Media

    Media Studies is a relatively young discipline. But its youth is a disruptive, feverish, tentacular one. There would have been no Media Studies without Marshall McLuhan, and, perhaps, no McLuhan without the outburst of the electronic era, and of mass media. The incalculable influence of mass media on society made necessary to pose certain questions, […]

    The Impersonal Within Us

    Bogna Konior highlights the ways in which the human conceives of the inhuman; she writes about AI, the links between mysticism and the Internet, non-philosophy, animism, her own history, the future. We asked questions about technology; we were made to glimpse a broader - and, at the same time, more intimate - horizon.

    Remarks for a Metaphysics of Passages – Part III

    Evil, the tendency to hold forms in their disintegration as if they were not always fragmented, is indispensable to the awareness that each passage is one. Evil is not horror in itself; it is horror for eternity.

    Remarks for a Metaphysics of Passages – Part II

    The totality of the past – of the images of the past – is the jewel brought as a dowry to a redeemed humanity. "There is a secret understanding between past generations and ours" – secret to everyone, even to the poles of that very understanding

    Remarks for a Metaphysics of Passages – Part I

    Where theories fail, where cyborgs, brains in tanks, Avatars and Terminators dance without a stage, the real is articulated in the passage. And each passage is a practical dimension, it is the where and the when in which one cannot but proceed, or disintegrate.

    TECHNOMORPHOSES

    In Kafka’s Metamorphosis there is no radical metamorphosis, but the installation of human consciousness in the body of an insect. In this way, Germán Sierra highlights the inability of contemporary thought to think adequately about change – an inability which, in the face of the mass and volume of transformations that our relationship with technology […]

    Radical Exoticism – Part III

    Along the irreversible path of universal progress, nothing "wild" is dead, everything rises or will rise again with vehemence and virulence, "right in the heart of our ultra-sophisticated and ultra-vulnerable systems, disarming them" without gasping.

    The Hyperobject that therefore We are in (II)

    The irremediable ontological caesura that materializes between the thing and the way it appears to other things makes all relations move on one, the same, side of the crack, leaving the outside lying on the opposite one.

    The Hyperobject that therefore We are in (I)

    Attraction and repulsion coexist, on the one hand as terror for the unknown, on the other as a desire to unveil: a (ir)reality that emerges intermittently, at the interstices of the real, pushing us to question it.
