A radically different, post-anthropocentric world at the Match Gallery
The Match Gallery is presenting the group exhibition "The World Without Us: Narratives on the age of non-human actors", authored by the internationally renowned curator and art director of Hartware MedienKunstVerein (HMKV, Dortmund) Inke Arns.
In a "world without us" humans will be replaced by machines, artificial intelligences will be optimized by other AIs and algorithms will be programmed by other self-learning algorithms. In this way, a radically different, post-anthropocentric world could emerge in which non-human life forms could eventually prove better able to adapt than man himself. Benjamin Bratton said of such a world in 2014: "Worse than being seen as the enemy (by AI) is not being seen at all."
