Science as Fiction, Fiction as Method

Cycle:

In the speculative cosmology of Imaginary Explosions, facts and fictions collide and intertwine in a pre-figurative rehearsal for different ways of relating to each other and the more-than-human world through embodied knowledges and the sensory mediations of emerging technologies. It is firmly grounded within the dominant logics of the present, in which the lithic matter of the earth is exploited as a seemingly inexhaustible resource for capital gain and biopolitical technogovernance. There is a crisis in this logic that fails to recognize systems and scales of planetary interdependence. To depart from this closed loop and speculate otherwise, Imaginary Explosions seeks to ask, what forms of aesthetics can be composed for and with the inhuman? Its cosmological vision and queer phenomenologies offer means to collectively attune to affective geologies and towards subjectivities co-created with inhuman forces that are always in excess of the self: being multiple, being-with, being unbounded.
