STRANGE/QUEER/INDETERMINATE FORMS OF LIFE
What are these strange forms of life that emerge from the interaction between the arts, biology and technology? - The methodology of development of this group is collaborative research, with the purpose of recognizing, mapping and collecting forms of life different from organic life as we know it so far. It is an open question about what we define as "the living" and its possibilities of being created from the arts, as proposed by researchers Iliana Hernández, Raúl Niño and Carlos Eduardo Maldonado.
Strange/Queer/Indeterminate Forms of Life explores the current question about the definition of life, in relation to non-organic life, viruses, AI, synthetic biology and many other fields. The project seeks to generate a context where the indeterminate, the strange, the queer can be articulated with the definition of life as a complex system. The initial phase aims to explore current and emerging means to study life, model it, create simulations and materialize it.
Through an open and collaborative group, framed in Suratómica's Creation Groups, this research is part of Natalia Rivera's research/creation project at the New Media Class of the UdK University of the Arts Berlin.
Some strange life forms or questions explored:
Why is/isn't a virus alive?
Artificial intelligence
Artificial life / Computational simulations
Why are we changing the definition of living?
Life for astrobiology
The Cyborg and the Posthuman
The Internet as a living organism
Evolutionary theories of the universe
