[Yasmin_discussions] R: Narcissism and Anthropocentrism (Was:...)

Here an abstract (the whole text is maybe too long...) from the text I wrote
(with Marco Caccavo) for Francesco Monico's art project:
"Is There Love in The Technoetic Narcissus?"

The narcissus flower just gets its name from the Sanskrit root Nar-, which
indicates a very intense perfume, whose fragrance can even induce
drowsiness; and of sleep seems to be sick the contemporary man who, despite
having all the heuristic tools to go beyond the reflection of the mirror, is
satisfied with self referential contemplation. Narcissism is indeed
synonymous with an immoderate cult of one's own egos, exclusive of any
existing reality outside the world that the subject creates for himself. The
classical mythology collects archetypes and metaphors of inconveniences
linked to man and to the research of his own existential reality. The
neuroses that have characterized the history of mankind limiting its
perceptions, are evident elements and interpretative codes to find some
solution to this difficult path to recognition. The most evident neurosis of
the twentieth century was undoubtedly the narcissism, which amplified a
dissociative tendency from reality and from the need to hear and feel.
Narcissus is slave of his own image and falls in love with it because he
can not recognize the other-than-himself detached from his representation

(...) Alexander Lowen, although starting from the father of psychoanalysis,
describes narcissism as a both psychological and cultural condition, leading
the reflection in relation with technology and future: "in my opinion
narcissists are perfectly adapted to the world in which they live, adhering
to its values,following its constantly changing models, feeling comfortable
in its superficiality. Those having a sense of the past, seeking stability
and security rather than change and having no faith in electronics, have
real difficulties of adaptation."

(...) we note how narcissism, individualism, self-referentiality and
anthropocentrism, are closely related and form the barrier that the
posthuman- postnarcissus have to overcome in order to treat the wounds of
an incorrect perception of his uniqueness and his own role in the world. The
culture of narcissism, this incomplete heuristic, reveals a persistent
inability to rip that veil of Maya beyond which we can discover continents
placed over the Pillars of Hercules of one's own limitations. We erase,
with a shot of human intellect, "too human", all that lies beyond the image
that, once taken, does not complete anything in the centripetal knowledge
excluding the worlds with which we however have to measure ourselves. The
superiority attributed to man by different cultures and religions, has
placed him in history as central individual, justifying his actions as the
result of thought, divine gift that gives right to be measure of all things
and master of them, without ever really penetrating in their deepest
essence.

(...) Modern man finally has ecological tools and philosophies likely to
break (without fearing years of bad luck ...), the mirror of dependence
from logos, no more making narcissism become schizophrenia, as soliloquy of
a ego little satisfied by the discovery of itself, but scented flower
inserted in a biological and social ecosystem. The word should then be given
to the artists' self poiesis, to the post-humanist vocation to replace man
as rich network of relationships, recovering and highlighting that
communication that inevitably moves to other living realities - the
vegetable, animal and micro-cellular world, in an "antropocentrifugal "
attitude able to redefine or definitively open the concept of human and
living.
This happens and will happen also and especially through technologies, free
progress of sciences and the resulting possibilities to expand the knowledge
of the world. The wind of new, blowing as a changing force over our
perceptual consciousness, still has not yet been fully recognized. The
revolution of the network makes us creators of new shared codes and
languages, affects the sense of self doing at a deep functional level(...)

David wrote:

"It's refreshing that some strands of continental philosophy are
allowing room for non-human perspectives [in reference to the Object
Oriented Ontology Symposium at Georgia Tech and the OOO theory]
(enough with the solipsism already), but OOO seems to be throwing the
baby out with the bathwater. We absolutely need to navigate between
empirical and relativistic understanding, but I have found
transdisciplinary examinations of non-dual approaches to cognition to
be much more useful than philosophical speculations based on
linguistic games with the subject/object divide."

I wonder why theory has to be non-experiential. Developing perspective
and practice through experience rather and theory seems a bit stale.
During a time of immersive design and connectivity, theory needs a
good shot of Vitamine B12 (e.g., experience) in order to thrive. A
transdisciplinary approach, which I agree with, would include theory
as a conceptual+perceptual process. Including theory as such an
experiential vehicle turns the role of theory upside down.


"In short, we need to encourage *more* of a focus on and understanding
of relations and processes, not less, and in ways that are more
explicit and less philosophically esoteric.

I find this very true of works which focus on the future - how can we
see it, feel it, and know it if it is not here yet? How can
art/design bring an idea, which time has not arrived, into our current
time frame? I find this an pesty issue, especially with racial human
enhancement, nano-molecular manufacturing and strong AI, whcih have
thus far been explored through narrative and theory.

Therefore, we need to "experience" theory in action: not necessarily
the diminishment of philosophizing of theory, but the expanding the
engagement of being "inside" a theory. This is an important role for
artists.

"Which brings me back to Roger's call for how this informs art=science
praxis: When viewing Chris Jordan's photographs of albatross birds
that have died by consuming bottle caps in the Pacific Trash Gyre
(http://www.chrisjordan.com/current_set2.php?id=11), do you ask
yourself whether the bird and the bottlecaps are equal or how human
technologies might function more integrally with organic systems?"

The latter.

One question is how we might bring a more provocative and broader
exploration of interactions of organisms and oikos, while being truly
aware of the exponential growth of technology and the increasing rate
of impoverished and inadequate dissemination of knowledge.

Best,
Natasha
