Author: Lucie Strecker, Thomas Feuerstein, Jens Hauser (eds.)This book presents artistic and theoretical positions that deal with the dynamics of and points of transition between a nimate and inanimate matter. Following on from the exhibition 'Holobiont: Life Is Other', it explores how art, philosophy, and the technological sciences destabilise and expand the concept of living things. How do biological entities, machines, media, architectures, networks develop symbiotically in the context of biotechnological possibilities and ecological challenges?The Holobiont theory of biologist Lynn Margulis opens up new perspectives on life as a cooperative, holistic system: the “other” is not assimilated, integrated; instead it is preserved in its unavailability and peculiarity as new connections emerge.ISBN 9783689241339.
