Intimately entangled in our biosphere, human-made technologies are increasingly lively beings. We feed them the Earth’s resources and let them discharge their waste into our ecosystems. As our technologies become more lifelike, we are metabolising our shared planet, putting the flourishing of our creations before the survival of other living beings - including ours.
Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg
Dr Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg is a multidisciplinary artist examining our fraught relationships with nature and technology. Through artworks, writing, and curatorial projects, Daisy’s work explores subjects as diverse as artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, conservation, biodiversity, and evolution, as she investigates the human impulse to “better” the world. She experiments with simulation, representation, and the nonhuman perspective to question the contemporary fixation on innovation over conservation, despite the environmental crisis.
