Post Terrain

computation integrated through objects, pulse rules in respiratory sequence

what is this thing - what does it do (where the environment meets a remade one meets a remade one meets a remade one)

life as a minimally electric mode of being - enough to power what is slight // inapproachable // alien computer newly styled

plug-and-play biopolitics

sculptural interaction meets code glitches contructed into environments - entropic sound, limited lifespams, non-dimensional spaces

the organismal becomes an inevitable space of reckoning for the technological - bringing the technologies into evolutionary space, what happens (bio art meets the oblique)

the science behind objects - the stories behind them - how much this doesn't matter

and then things are there, present, inscrutable

gonzo biology (the controller (screen, code) has no life but its deadness is entirely unsavoury)

sustainable interactors - grassroots comrades built of free-range laboratory elements

how do computers evolve - saturate them, glitch them, see how different they are - see how our phenomenology always wants to relate them to us - everything as us in whatever theatre > evolving from the beginning

flesh has nothing to do with computation and yet it is everywhere - flesh has everything to do with computation, creates all its mathematical abstractions
the flesh of plants (computation life cycle)

the relation of science to human - to relation of a world so overcreated that we don't know what it is anymore

organism mysteries - biopunk orpheus resurrected via electricity from the relationship which was a better fiction (a place for incomprehensible gestures)

it doesn't matter that animals live in different worlds from us - look, it looks like they're sad, or happy - mythologies that rewrite others' existences (murder to restart)

colours, shapes, sounds and hands

gamifying lives, or the biogovernmentality of technics

Radical Science and New Ways to Think About Knowledge

By
In a world that is rapidly changing—where new technologies, environmental crises, and societal challenges continuously shape our future—how we think about science, knowledge, and creativity must evolve. Enter radical science : a groundbreaking approach that blends scientific inquiry, artistic expression, and technological innovation to solve global problems in bold, interdisciplinary ways. But what exactly is radical science, and how does it differ from traditional science? This article explores the concept of radical science and why it’s becoming a crucial framework for understanding the complexities of our modern world. What is Radical Science At its core, radical science represents a departure from traditional scientific methods that typically segregate art, technology, and science into separate spheres. Radical science integrates these disciplines, encouraging collaboration between scientists, artists, engineers, and philosophers. It challenges the conventional belief that scientif...

Pascal and Laplace: Probabilities of the Divine and Divine Probabilities

By
  Pascal's Wager is the opportunity for a mathematician turned theologian to justify their view of cosmic order in the mathematical ways they've come to know.  What's the pay off if you're right and what's the pay off if you're wrong.  If the pay off for being right far outweighs that for being wrong, should we out of principle take the wager? Ask Laplace and we have a different framing.  Now probability has replaced the divine role so the aspect of choice has been eliminated.  Probability no longer informs a bet on divine order, divine order is a subsidiary part of probability.  Laplace's famous demon is not an impossible gambit on an all-controlling deity as popularly assumed, but a thesis that cosmic order can be predicated by sheer mathematical analysis.  Pascal's world still contains Christian state law, but Laplace's does not.  How do we culturally bind people without such moral institutions? It turns out fairly easily.  We don't need t...

Bridging the Gap: How Art Can Help Us Understand Science

By
  Science can be intimidating. Whether it’s the abstract equations of physics or the complex biological processes that govern life, many scientific concepts can feel distant and inaccessible to the public. But what if there was a way to make these ideas more tangible, relatable, and easier to understand? What if art could bridge the gap between complex science and the general public? In recent years, the integration of art and science has proven to be a powerful tool for not just communicating scientific ideas, but for expanding the ways in which we think about and engage with the world. In this article, we explore how art plays a vital role in making science more accessible, engaging, and emotionally resonant. Through creative coding, digital art, and speculative design, art provides a new lens through which we can explore the wonders of the natural world and the mysteries of the universe. Art as a Visualization Tool for Science One of the primary ways that art helps us understand...
