She Technological Devices in Biopoetic Activisms: Ancestral and Posthuman Ways of Thinking Spaces Through a Biopolitical Lens.

Abstract

This essay explores the biopoetic activist potential of two conceptual and technological devices which, when applied to language constructions, transform our perception of the body and the definition of space. It presents two projects: one by the KIMUN collective, which implemented the Andean stepped cross as an operating system for understanding the body-cosmos continuum, and another by the MURU 7.8 collective, which used gyroscopes to audiovisually transcode the vibrations of plants, animals, and humans without hierarchies. Both devices perceive continuities where modernity saw separations.
We raise urgent questions such as: what technologies do we use, designed by whom, to create what worlds?
