This part of the course will start as a historical journey through the artistic technologies devised by indigenous cultures, adapted by minorities living in a state of resistance and excluded from the “official” artistic production, such as the Easter Island Rapa Nui community, the Mapuche people in Chile, or the Zapatista community in Mexico. After understanding the “technology of art” as it developed within a “struggle for survival”, we will explore the notion of “resistance” in artistic practices lying at the core of new media movements such as hybrid art, digital art, mechatronic art, xenofeminist art, bio art, ecofeminist art — all of which develop their own technologies or technological approaches, inscribed in a reflection on non-human agency, matter- and material-oriented ontology, multispecies aesthetics, post-humanism, the Anthropocene and climate change among others.

This course offers a journey into ancient and contemporary art practices that re-appropriate the notion of technology by creating their own technologies or technological approaches.

This course offers a journey into ancient and contemporary art practices that re-appropriate the notion of technology by creating their own technologies or technological approaches. Aiming at proposing less anthropocentric relations and affiliations with matter and the more than human and questioning the binaries object/subject, culture/nature, body/mind. On one hand the course visits examples of ceremonial technologies of indigenous cultures from Latin America and Polynesia, that have been adapted by minority groups that live in a state of resistance against the exploitation of the territories they inhabit. Such as the Rapa Nui community of Easter Island, the Mapuche people of Chile and the Zapatist community in Mexico, whose ritualistic habits become daily art practices that are exluded from the official art production.

On the other hand, we will visit the notion of resistance and de-colonization in the works of eco-feminists, eco-sex feminists, cyber-feminists, xeno-feminists artists that develop new media and post media art works. Works that include organic and inorganic materials and that are situated in the present climatic change, in the capitalocene, as well as the post-Anthropocene and the post natural. Furthermore, we will examine the contents of the course from post-human perspectives to get acquainted with multi-species agencies and aesthetics, matter and materials ontologies. By encountering selected concepts of authors like Karen Barad, Brian Masumi, Rosi Braidotti, amongst others.
