Nel Novembre 2015 ho partecipato, con la presentazione “The Evolving Human Inheritance. From Symbols to Life”, al simposio “Limits of the Human: Human, Inhuman, Overhuman, Antihuman“, a cura di Dmitry Bulatov e Madina Tlostanova, presso il National Center for Contemporary Arts (NCCA) a Mosca, un evento all’interno del progetto “The Human Condition”, sotto la direzione artistica di Viktor Misiano. Una pubblicazione finale sarà disponibile a breve. Il simposio intendeva porre in discussione l’idea contemporanea dell’umano, al di là della posizione antropocentrica classica, con la sua idea dell’uomo come misura di tutte le cose. Il post-umanesimo, uno dei concetti chiave del progetto, dovrebbe cercare una nuova identità per l’umano nel mondo moderno, scoprendo l’umano anche in cose mai prima riconosciute come umane.
Relatori i curatori e Dmitrij Galkin, Jens Hauser, Eliza Steinbrock, Liina Siib, Rolando Vasquez, Lewis Gordon, Taus Makhacheva, Richard Doyle, Victor Vakhshtain, Nina Sosna, Wladimir Velminski, Michael Kurtov. Ho scritto di questo evento anche qui.

On November 2015 I participated, with the presentation “The Evolving Human Inheritance. From Symbols to Life”, at the National Center for Contemporary Arts (NCCA) in Moscow to the symposium “Limits of the Human: Human, Inhuman, Overhuman, Antihuman”, curated by Dmitry Bulatov and Madina Tlostanova. The symposium was the opening event of a wide interdisciplinary project, “The Human Condition”, consisting of conferences, exhibitions, master classes and lectures until the end of 2017, taking place in some cultural centers in Moscow under the artistic direction of Viktor Misiano. A final publication will be available in short. The symposium was meant to questione the contemporary idea of humanity beyond the classical anthropocentric position, with its idea of man as the measure of all things. Post-humanity, one of the key concepts of the project, should look for a new place for the human in the modern world, also discovering the human in things never previously recognized as human.
Attending presenters were the curators, Dmitry Bulatov and Madina Tlostanova, and Dmitry Galkin, Jens Hauser, Eliza Steinbrock, Liina Siib, Rolando Vasquez, Lewis Gordon, Taus Makhacheva, Richard Doyle, Victor Vakhshtain, Nina Sosna, Wladimir Velminski, Michael Kurtov. I also wrote about this event here.
