Is it possible to tell stories with and for nonhuman entities? This panel brings together authors and artists who attempt to do just that, hereby exploring the limits of narrative and representation. How do the artists attempt to do justice to the plural logics of nonhuman entities in their work? We will talk about specific art works, projects and installations to shed light on a new ethos of collaboration and the way it affects artistic work and the human perception.
Questions to be asked include the following: Are large language models truly capable of generating stories on their own, or do they simply draw upon human imagination? What would it mean for human storytellers to collaborate with a mosquito or to speak on behalf of a glacier? How can we grasp nonhuman scales that surpass human imagination and how can mediation between different scales be made tangible, both materially and physically? What stories do obsolete technological objects tell about themselves—and about us? And to what extent do fusions between humans and machines, glitches between biological and virtual personalities, and deliberate mergings between humans and animals generate new narratives about life on this planet?

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
