DESCRIPTION
In the slipstream of the release of the first comprehensive Next Nature publication (www.nextnature.net), the 2011 Visual Power Show took place in the Stadsschouwburg (Municipal Theatre) in Amsterdam. My five-minute presentation focused on the advent of Techno-Animism: Once upon a time animism ruled people’s beliefs: both organisms and objects were imbued with a conscience. The conception that there is no distinct division between objects and organisms gains ground again, as today’s technology increasingly creates organisms that used to be called objects. As a consequence the disctincion between myth and science will gradually disappear.
