About
Residency Overview
Oscar Santillán is an artist-in-residence with a MA in Sculpture and Extended Media from Virginia Commonwealth University, working on a project called DAPHNIA that explores cybernetics and transspecies intelligence.
Project Description
The project investigates what conceptual and technological interfaces can enable the encounter of biological, artificial, and indigenous notions of intelligence. Building on cybernetician Stafford Beer's 1960s attempt to create a 'biological computer' using water fleas (daphnia), Santillán explores Andean cosmologies of 'Earthbeing' (Tirakuna in Quechua) - ecosystems capable of generating their own subjectivity - to develop a radical transspecies computer that expands on Beer's enterprise.
Period
February – June 2020
- Theme
- A cybernetics-focused residency exploring conceptual and technological interfaces between biological, artificial, and indigenous notions of intelligence through a transspecies computer project inspired by Stafford Beer's 1960s biological computing experiments.
