Shimmer: Dreaming the Posthuman

Michael J. and Aimee Rusinko Kakos Galleries | Level 1; Jason D. Kogan Gallery | Level 2

Shimmer: Dreaming the Posthuman features artists who invite us to imagine a path from the human-centered era often referred to as the Anthropocene to a new era, the Ecocene, when humanity, other species, and the earth itself are understood to exist in mutual and nonhierarchical dependence. In works created with both analog media and emergent and evolving technologies—including motion capture software, augmented and virtual reality, and artificial intelligence—these artists challenge us to rise above the limiting view of human exceptionalism to engage with an ethics of care for the planet.
