ABSTRACTS Speakers 1 Abstract: "A transgenic butterfly with a human gene: Transfering information between organisms" The Melanitis leda Project is a transgenic model of the Leda Melanitis butterfly (named by Linnaeus 1758), using one of the artists’ genes .The project, completed last year, was to breed transgenic butterflies containing a gene of human origin, which miss-expressed a protein to acquire ectopic eyes. As Antiphon the sophist states “Names can be erroneous… The concepts we use are not delimited by the exact way objects are”. That is the initial point for making LEDA MELANITIS. My surname, Μelanitis, derives from the Greek root melas (μέλας), dark, deprived of light; a property probably attracted Linnaeus in naming the inspected butterfly... The broader area of my analysis is information in contemporary art and under this sense, Leda Melanitis initiates a dispersion of homonymic information between organisms. The aim of Leda Melanitis is to interweave language and life not as bio-laboratory exercise, but in the tradition of a modernistic art strategy and practice. About Sozita Goudouna Dr. Sozita Goudouna is an art theorist, curator and the author of "Beckett's Breath," published by Edinburgh University Press released in the US by Oxford University Press. She is the artistic director of a new art & biomedical sciences initiative in Abu Dhabi and has taught at New York University as the inaugural Andrew Mellon Curatorial Fellow at Performa New York, the leading organisation's partnerships consist of a consortium of 80+ institutions across NYC (MoMA, New Museum, Whitney, Guggenheim et al). About Yiannis Melanitis Yiannis Melanitis (1967-) is a Greek conceptual artist, bio artist, sculptor, painter, writing on critical art theory. His work initiates from an intense conceptualisation on the strategies of contemporary art. His research focuses on the role of information on the arts .(“INFORMATION AS THE NEW CONCEPTUALIZATION / see Quantum Manifesto) . First bioart works realized in 1998. Latest work is LEDA TRANSGENIC -his gene micro-injected into the butterfly named Leda Melanitis for the creation of a transgenic butterfly breed.(see Ontogenetic Art statement) His essays on art and philosophy have been translated into English, Italian, Korean and Greek. He has exhibited worldwide and his work has become a subject of criticism in international editions as "Art Tomorrow" (Ed.L.Smith), Leonardo MIT press, Lomonosov Moscow University, by Seung-Chol Shin, Mario Savini, Assimina Kaniari and others.

In the Air combines still images and text incorporating quotes by Luce Irigaray from The Forgetting of Air in Martin Heidegger and Elemental Passions. Both books speak to philosophers of the past by inserting the elements (air and water) as a way to discuss what is essential to being alive (i.e., breath) in order to think about consciousness and being in the world. This work engages in questions around how we coexist with other sentient beings in this world of climate change and global warming and the ecological transitions that form from our coexistence. I’m not interested in speaking about sustainability but rather about how oil and wildlife are interwoven into a system that simultaneously exists in the environments we live. About Maria Whiteman Currently, Maria Whiteman is a Visiting Fellow as the Artist in Social Practice at the Environmental Resilience Institute at Indiana University, Bloomington. Whiteman’s art practice explores themes such as art and science, environmentalism and ecology, global warming and climate change. Maria’s work continues to engage in the relationships between industry, natural energy, community and nature, and the place of animals in our cultural and social imaginary. In addition to her studio work, she conducts research in contemporary art theory and visual culture. Maria has published critical texts in Public: Art/Culture/Ideas, Minnesota Review and Antennae and an essay on Visual Culture in the John Hopkins Guide to Literary Theory and Criticism, Sustaining The West (2014) and Catalyst (forthcoming 2016). In 2011, Whiteman attended the Caetani Culture Artist in Residence FRESH AIR! Okanagan, Vernon, BC, Alberta May-June 2015. In November, 2015 Co-organizing "After BioPolitics" The SLSA Society for Literature, Science and the Arts, Keynotes (Mark Dion and Vinciane Despret) Houston, Texas. She has also been selected as a recipient of the Visiting Scholar Lynette S. Autrey Fellowship 2015-2016. In March of 2016 "Touching" will be exhibited in the Urban Video Project “Between Species,” Curated by Anneka Herre at Syracuse University, New York. “Walker,” Curated by Angela Ellsworth, presented at the Museum of Walking, Tempe, Arizona, March 2016. Whiteman's “Mountain Pine Beetle and Roadside Kestrel” most recent video/photography work will be premiered at the Houston Cinema Arts Festival and Rice Media Centre, Houston, TX, Nov 2014.

To this end, a “dialogue” is conducted with Michel Serres’s reflection on the objective dimension of hominescence, that is, on the hominescent links with the world that point to a new humanism, federal of nature and culture. Serresian proposal of a symbiotic man-nature contract, whose “habitat” could be the Natural Parc, the ideal space for a political ecology in which human and environmental interrelations meet, is taken into consideration and analyzed as a “germinal nucleus” of a posthuman humanism. About Orsola Rignani Orsola Rignani (Parma, Italy, 1971) is Assistant Professor of History of Philosophy at the University of Florence, Department of Humanities. She’s interested in history of ideas, relations between philosophy and science, philosophical anthropology, philosophy of the Posthuman, philosophy of the body. On Posthuman philosophy she published the volumes Umano? Una domanda per Italo Calvino e Michel Serres (2012); Emergenze “post-umaniste” dell’umano (2014); “E-mergenze” “post-umaniste” del corpo (2016).

I will argue that ethics poses a limit to Speculative Posthumanism (SP) to such an extent, that the formulation of an ethical framework is only feasible within SP when the philosophical consistency of its assumptions is sacrificed. By exposing the contradiction between SP’s claim on the impossibility of accounting for the ethical implications of posthuman becoming (Roden, 2014), and SP’s attempts at accounting for them (Roden, 2010), I will demonstrate that the postulation of Ethical SP is aporetic if philosophically consistent. I will conclude that the oxymoronic nature of this postulation can be dissolved if theoretical robustness is abandoned in favor of the inclusion of unsolved aporetic tensions as an integral part of SP’s philosophical device. About Romina Wainberg Romina Wainberg is a doctoral researcher in Iberian and Latin American Cultures at Stanford University. She holds a Specialization in Narrative Writing from Casa de Letras, a Licentiate Degree in Letras from the University of Buenos Aires and an M.Phil. in Hispanic Studies from the University of Glasgow.

ABSTRACTS Abstract: “Valediction of Monsters: Shelley’s Frankenstein and Lem’s Golem XIV" Harold Bloom observes that, despite his privileged upbringing, excellent parentage, and the best education, Victor Frankenstein is a “moral idiot.” His undying Prometheanism aside, there is an inherent evil in his act of creation: Frankenstein’s creature is constructed apart from any reference to aesthetic values” (Whitehead). The creature suffers at the hands of human society and thereby understands the moral and aesthetic depravity of his origin. He learns first-hand “the responsibilities a creator owes to his creature,” and violently conveys this lesson to his creator—indeed, the creature gets the last word. Frankenstein’s technical success is his utter downfall. Stanislaw Lem carries this problematic forward in the context of artificial intelligence in his tale of Golem XIV, the most advanced AI in a series of military AI failures. The Golems are fitted with moral algorithms—what could possibly go wrong? Lem’s is not the typical AI-apocalypse scenario: he ingeniously removes the source of Frankenstein’s most obvious vice—his clumsy disregard for human connection— to lay bare deeper flaws of human creative genius. About Farzad Mahootian Farzad Mahootian (Ph.D. Philosophy; M.S. Chemistry). is a Clinical Associate Professor at New York University’s College of Arts and Sciences. His interdisciplinary work focuses on the interactions of metaphor, myth and science in the context of scientific theory, practice and history. Recent publications include, “Metaphor in Chemistry,” and “Whitehead on Intuition.” Abstract: Social Media and the Concept of Now We become nostalgic for the present, as Frederic Jameson has noted, when “we draw back from our immersion in the here and now … and grasp it as a kind of thing.” But is it really possible to thing-ify the present? Doesn’t the present become un-presented the moment we try to grasp it at all? Yet our culture has increasingly come to believe that the present is experienced only by grasping it — in a status, in a live feed, in a photograph. As Nathan Jurgenson argues, social media “forces us to view our present as increasingly a potentially documented past.” How has social media altered our understanding of the present? What effect does this new understanding have on our sense of self and community? This talk will briefly explore these questions with an eye toward theology and ethics. About Brandon Ambrosino Brandon Ambrosino is a writer focusing on the intersection of religion, culture and technology. His pieces have appeared in The New York Times, Boston Globe, The Atlantic, The Economist, Politico, The Wilson Quarterly, Smithsonian Magazine, Globe and Mail, Playboy, and the BBC, among other outlets. He is a graduate student at Villanova University. Abstract: "AI vs. IR: The Myths of International relations in the age of transhumanism" The field of International Relations has for too long been presented as an ahistorical, chauvinistic clash of states and powers based on the notion that mankind is inherently egotistical. Three decades ago, constructivism introduced a more flexible conception of human relations, nation-states and history. Very recently, ‘New Materialism’ has recognized the growing importance of technology in IR. What this paper aims to do is further this structural change of the field through the adoption of a transhuman constructivist standpoint. This approach focuses on observing the current level of technological interdependence and on the potential characteristics of a future transhuman society, giving new insights on the agency-structure debate and on global society. Finally, the study will offer some reflections on the ramifications of transhumanism in the ontology of IR theory. About Niccolò Invidia Niccolò Invidia holds a Master in Global Governance from the University of Groningen. He has worked at the European Parliament, in the Industry Committee (ITRE) and at the Millennium Project in Washington D.C. where he has researched about technological unemployment and UBI. Performance: "99c Dreams" - Marriage History, Sexual Harrasment and Me too Marriage History, Sexual Harrasment and Me too to be reflected upon from a posthuman perspective. This Art Performance is divided in three parts:
About Virginie Sommet Virginie Sommet is a conceptual artist with strong Pop underpinning. Her focus has been on creating sculptures, installations/collages from familiar objects in our culture that reflect a wide range of uncertainties regarding social issues. Sommet is driven to visually tackle challenging topics that examine societal constraints. Virginie completed her BFA and MFA in Conceptual Art at University Paris VIII. -- This will be a very exciting Meeting: we are looking forward to seeing you again and keeping developing together the posthuman turn.

Our most sincere gratitude goes to NYU for all the kind, generous and precious support offered to our Group. ABSTRACTS Abstract 1: “Science, Religion, and the Human of Transhumanism” How can transhumanism, a movement that identifies as secular and scientific, be made legible to scholars of religion? I contend that transhumanism performs work typically regarded as the subject of philosophy of religion through its inquiry into the nature and future of the human. Through its discussion of the posthuman, transhumanism concerns itself with a question that has been fundamental to the ‘onto-theological’ tradition: what does it mean to be a human being? Since cybernetics, the information-processing machine has provided an organizing metaphor for human being. As this techno-scientific model has moved outside of the boundaries of institutional science and into the domains of popular and speculative science, it has motivated reflection on eschatology, immortality, and transcendence, as well as the value and distinctiveness of human being. In transhumanism, this reflection performs work familiar to scholars of religion: making sense of the self and its relation to the world. About Joseph Fisher Joseph Fisher is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Religion at Columbia University, where he studies the intersection of science, technology, and religion. His dissertation offers a historical and philosophical analysis of the contemporary movement transhumanism. His work is motivated by the ways in which technologies, real and imagined, influence understandings of what it means to be human. He earned a B.A. from Franklin and Marshall College in Religious Studies before earning an M.A. and M.Phil. in Religion at Columbia. Abstract 2: "Analytic Neutrality as Posthuman Technique" This presentation will reconsider the much misunderstood and maligned practice of psychoanalytic “neutrality” as providing access to posthuman transformations within a clinical register. Far from advocating the dispassionate, silent, “blank screen” approach that would define American psychiatry for decades, Freud’s recommendations to clinicians actually present us with an anticipatory strategy for posthuman engagement by obviating desire and tending instead to the autonomy of the memory apparatus. What it means to speak of psychoanalytic “technique” in this way opens us up to new ways of thinking about the human and about the irreducible nature of technicity in general. About Jared Russell Jared Russell is a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City. He earned his PhD in Philosophy at the New School for Social Research, and trained as an analyst at the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research (IPTAR). He is managing editor of The Undecidable Unconscious: A Journal of Deconstruction and Psychoanalysis (University of Nebraska Press), and the author of "Nietzsche and the Clinic: Psychoanalysis, Philosophy, Metaphysics" (Karnac Books, 2016). Abstract 3: "Virtual Equality: Towards the Fair Distribution of Wealth and Health, Beauty and Brains, Information and Reality" This talk examines some of the egalitarian underpinnings of our cultural fixation with the future and our drive toward utopian technology. Our transition to a “post-human state” has already begun with the creation of countless artificial environments, beings and simulated realities for our convenience and comfort. Does this mean that we are moving toward individual autonomy with greater capabilities; or mutating into a unified post-human organism, with each human as a functionally highly restricted unit, a tiny cell of a greater body? I will examine whether there is a conflict inherent in our drive toward egalitarianism exemplified in the slogan “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, (or Death)” that can create conditions of forced equalization, submission, oppression and control that will be exacerbated in a post-human society and environment. About Olga Ast Olga Ast is an interdisciplinary conceptual artist, curator and independent scholar. One of her main goals is to investigate connections between time, space and information. Ast has exhibited and lectured in the U.S. and abroad, presenting her work at various interdisciplinary conferences and projects. In 2009, Olga Ast organized and curated the ArcheTime conference and exhibition dedicated to exploring artistic, academic and scientific concepts of time and published Fleeing from Absence, a book of four essays that explores the nature and interpretations of time. Later Ast collected the ArcheTime papers and artworks and designed a book titled "Infinite Instances: Studies and Images of Time" released by Mark Batty Publisher in 2011. |

The “Real” in Artificial Intelligence: Kinship and Selfhood in the Posthuman Context. This presentation analyzes Steven Spielberg’s film Artificial Intelligence simultaneously as a representation of child adoption and a human/android relationship in order to uncover the role of biology and Oedipal structures of feelings in securing human kinship and selfhood. At the same time, it examines the meaning of difference we construct between humans and human-like artificial intelligence entities based on the distinction between “the real” and “the apparent.” Such line of analysis shows that reinvention of the origin narratives that define “the human” is possible if biology is imagined as a discourse that essentializes the interdependence of the “natural” bloodline and the “real” kinship and selfhood. Abstract Marina Fedosik Marina Fedosik is a literature and cultural studies scholar. Her research interests span theories of subjectivity and belonging, and her publications explore selfhood and kinship through the lens of adoption studies. She currently teaches “The Posthuman,” a writing seminar at Princeton University. Abstract 2: "Will a Robot Take Your Job?" This talk reflects on technological unemployment and the potential impact of automation and computerization on its effects on the future of work, addressing questions such as: Is technology causing inequality? Are there occupations that are immune to technological change? What will be the macroeconomic effects of technological unemployment? We will also discuss what we can do to remedy technological unemployment. Abstract Kevin LaGrandeur Kevin LaGrandeur is Professor of English at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT), and Director of Technical Writing Programs. Dr. LaGrandeur has written many articles and conference presentations on digital culture; Artificial Intelligence and ethics; and literature and science. His recent book on the premodern cultural history of AI is titled Androids and Intelligent Networks in Early Modern Literature and Culture (Routledge, 2012). His more recent conference presentations have been on transhumanism and the posthuman. Abstract 3: "Cyborg Selves or Persons" In my talk on cyborg selves or persons, I argue for an evolutionary continuity between humans and cyborgs and for treating cyborgs as persons in the perspective of philosophy (Hume, Peirce, Margolis.) The difference that occurs between cyborgs and humans is due to the input of online technologies and is noticeable on the levels of perception, cognition, and communication. However we should also mind important moral and political implications of the recognition of cyborgs as persons (with the acknowledgement of their responsibility and rights). The presentation is in the spirit of the philosophy of pragmatism, with references to postdarwinism and to contemporary posthuman studies. Abstract Aleksandra Łukaszewicz Alcaraz Doctor in Philosophy, specialized in the fields of philosophical aesthetics and theory of culture and art, who presents an interdisciplinary approach, combining elements of aesthetical and social reflection with an analysis of artistic events. Received various prizes and grants; recently a scholarship from the Kosciuszko Foundation for the research on the work of Joseph Margolis in art, culture and aesthetics, and to prepare her book project on cyborg persons basing on metaphysics of culture. Abstract 4: Is Western Posthumanism Amazonian Prehumanism? Based on travels to Northern Peru where I spent time with Shipibo Tribe shamans in the Amazon Jungle, I realized that their working with medicinal plants was part of what I considered a Posthuman ethic. However, this association dates back more than 2000 years. That would make them Posthumans before Western Civilization even developed Humanism. My talk considers the similarities and differences between Posthuman Philosophers and Amazonian shamans, the Japanese practice of shinrin yoku, the work of a Nobel Prize winning American scientist and my own experiences with plant medicine. Abstract Brian Porzak Brian Porzak is a healing facilitator, not only of people, but companies and brands, as well. He has studied with healers and shamans in North, South and Latin America, as well as Western Europe. As a filmmaker, Brian has written/directed commercials, documentaries, TV pilots, festival shorts and is, presently, working on a feature film. He is, also, the author of several screenplays of varied genres, plus novels based on 3 of them. Brian was a Senior Fellow in Film at Dartmouth College. |
