Practical ethics for a post human-centric society
The training focuses on developing a practical ethics for living in a society that is no longer human-centric, examining the friction between humanitarian and posthuman values.
The narrative setting is that of an ocean dwelling zoöp in the mid 21st century, a floating artificial island that leads a mostly independent existence outside territorial waters. The ocean zoöp takes on board a group of people – the training participants - who have to find a mode of existence that meets humanitarian needs, posthuman values, zoönomic as well as material conditions on different stages of Maslovs’ pyramid.
This workshop will be organized for a second time in the context of the exhibition I See That I See What You Don’t See, at Het Nieuwe Instituut, and will be re-staged at various moments in the development of the zoöp project.
The training Extraterritorial Zoöperations is developed by:
- Scenario: Klaas Kuitenbrouwer, researcher at Het Nieuwe Instituut, initiator of the zoöp project and Sjef van Gaalen, design theorist, co-developer of zoöp concept.
- Sound design: Mark Bergwerff, theatre maker, sound artist.
- Graphic design: Mislav Žugaj, graphic designer.
