CFP: "The Wound of the Possible. Art, Futurity, and Non-Human Agency" – Noema

Dear Colleagues,

Noema (ISSN 2283-3145) has launched a new Call for Papers titled “The Wound of the Possible. Art, Futurity, and Non-Human Agency”.
The call explores the intersection of artistic practice, technological evolution, and non-human agency, questioning how these dynamics redefine our perception of the future and move beyond anthropocentric perspectives.

– Art as anticipatory practice and producer of futures
– Non-human agency in artistic creation
– Artificial intelligence and creativity
– Bioart, synthetic life, and living media
– Ecological art and more-than-human relations
– Art in the context of the climate crisis
– Post-human and post-anthropocentric aesthetics
– Art as a form of knowledge production
– Speculative, critical, and experimental artistic practices
– Archives, datasets, and algorithmic memory
– Marginal, alternative, and non-dominant technocultural imaginaries
– Decolonial, indigenous, and marginal perspectives on futurity and more-than-human worlds
