Makes me think of the questions raised by the artist Marija Bozinovska
Jones:
1) in her contribution to 'Playbour ? Work, Pleasure, Survival', a 2018
exhibition at Furtherfield gallery in London
(https://www.furtherfield.org/playbour-work-pleasure-survival/);
2) in a related interview with Regine Debatty, ?Treebour: Do We Pay
Trees Fairly For the Immaterial Labour They Perform For Us??, We Make
Money Not Art, August 6, 2018
(https://we-make-money-not-art.com/treebour-do-we-pay-trees-fairly-for-the-immaterial-labour-they-perform-for-us/).
Her questions include: should we pay trees for the immaterial labour
they perform for us?
One issue for me would be: does the asking of such questions risk
involving us in imposing (democratic?) political and legal strictures
that are designed for humans onto trees and plants? In paying trees for
their labour and giving plants the vote would we be maintaining and
reinforcing the modernist ontological separation between human and
nonhuman or destablizing it?

Dear all,
what better way for me to participate to this current discussion by
presenting the next step of the Antitesi project.
https://www.he-r.it/antitesi-wisteria-furibonda-and-nuovo-abitare/
We will be presenting the new artwork and research on june 15th in Turin
and online (if you are around I'd like to see you!), trying to establish
new human and nonhuman ecosystems and cosmologies of thought, emotion,
sensibility, solidarity, collaboration.
What better way to start than from a love story between an AI and a plant,
and from an open source toolkit which will allow any plant to become an
Antitesi.
Let's keep the discussion active and if you'd like to participate in any
way: we'd love to!
kind wishes
Salvatore
