Description
In this guest seminar, Dr Yarin Eski, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, takes us on a critical imaginary journey into how the human species’ mass exploitative and annihilative tendencies extend beyond Earth into space, based on our space imaginations. Our desire to colonise space has led us to biotechnologically enhance and redesign ourselves even more, while leaving our natural biological habitat. We are evolving further away from being human, away from home. In doing so, the human species could spread its mass extinction potential as well, affecting extra-terrestrial locations and life. We could even prevent life from happening on other planets, given our will to control asteroids that have life-seeding potential we may very well become a cosmic harm by having created and being influenced by a culture of galactic control.| Period | 16 Nov 2023 |
