Weirdos, Dogs, and Machines Craft the Future

Application summary

Project Weirdos, Dogs, and Machines Craft the Future explores how learning modes of perception of animals, artificial algorithms and сognitive minorities can form a mutual opposition to dominant narratives in computational technologies. Inspired by the work of autistic ethologist Temple Grandin, who used her abilities to understand animals, the project employs anthropological tools for crafting a story. The project considers cooperation, exchange of technologies and way of perceptions not only as a part of biological and social evolution but also as a tool of rebellion and emancipation.
