Ontological play: reinventing (Machinic) Arts-Based Research in the posthuman era

In an era characterized by unprecedented ecological and technological change, Ontological Play: Reinventing (Machinic) Arts-Based Research in the Posthuman Era attempts to seed creative processes for educators, researchers, and artists to collaborate for the common good of planetary co-existence. Humanism and anthropocentrism have created precarious
conditions, and much is at stake. Here I consider the revolutionary potential of aesthetic
production, while engaging concepts such as mashup and remix as points of departure. In these
times of theory fatigue, this dissertation functions as a wayfinding device with both simple and
complex refrains that can be further sampled and repurposed. The aim is to reinvent social
practices and to learn to play, ontologically. / Graduate / 2023-01-28
