Non-Machines (Mindaugas Gapsevicius)

At the intersection of machines, living organisms, and environments, a rich field of inquiry unfolds through artistic research. Bringing together perspectives from contemporary art, biology, and cybernetics, the contributors approach life not as a fixed entity but as a dynamic network of relations among human, non-human, and technological actors. Through essays, artistic projects, and theoretical reflections, the volume proposes new ways of understanding agency, interaction, and hybrid systems - offering readers across disciplines a conceptual framework for experiencing life beyond machines and humans.
