Unnatural - of humus and artifact

by Sandrine Deumier
2023

An interactive point-and-click narrative device, Unnatural - of humus and artifact proposes to project the user into a fictional human society whose development of technical and spiritual knowledge would have created a world of virtual artifacts without any modification of the natural environment. This project tries to imagine a technologically augmented humanity in view of shared knowledge, spirituality and hyper-connection to the living world.

Voici la version corrigée avec les titres en italique, tout en restant fidèle au texte original :


In a natural environment without any artificial infrastructure, and apparently uninhabited by the human species, an encounter takes place with an enigmatic character, who will turn out to belong to a hyper-technological human society inhabiting the Earth in a way unknown until then.

Inspired by Donna Haraway’s concept of Chthulucene, this project is based on the premise that what defines us as living beings is being-with. It seeks to open up avenues of reflection on the construction of a form of inclusive metaverse, in particular by experimenting with non-invasive lifestyles inspired by an ethic of Care and open to the development of inter-cultural networks and inter-species communication; the development of a policy of living together between humans and non-humans; the value placed on time, observation and curiosity; and the understanding of the imaginary as a power to act on reality.

This project is an attempt to answer the question of what kind of anticipatory fictions can be imagined to help steer current time towards viable near-futures, where living would mean sharing the world-with.
