about: A virtual session for Our Networks 2020.
title: ‘hyperobjects.io’
labels: ‘interspecies art on earth’
assignees: ‘Judith Sönnicken, Qusai Jouda’
Description
To call something a hyperobject means to look at it with new eyes, to reclaim its inherent mystery. Hyperobjects are comparable to hashtags, implying metadata of time and space. hyperobjects.io is a digital performance template for interspecies relationship. Participants can geo-tag artworks or stories on an interactive, borderless map. Likes, shares and purchases create funds for international micro-scale environmental projects through a blockchain script.
This virtual workshop / morphogenetic performance starts off with a presentation of the project. Participants are encouraged to think of their identity in relationship to surrounding life forms, elements and metabolisms as a synthesized “quantum selfie.” The group will be guided through an interdimensional meditation to "tune into" the hyperobject on a different plane of consciousness to then create and geo-tag an artwork or story related to it in an interactive virtual format.
