Gathering Ecologies

Gathering Ecologies Volume 1 is a scholarly examination of interactive artwork and its potential for expressive growth. This science and life sciences text focuses on shifting the concept of interactivity toward an ecological framework. By prioritizing complex relations over the stability of objects and subjects, the book analyzes the ethical and political implications of this theoretical transition.

The author utilizes the philosophies of A.N. Whitehead, Gilbert Simondon, and Michel Serres to explore differential relations within the field of ecology. Through detailed analysis of artists like Lygia Clark and Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Gathering Ecologies Volume 1 discusses how sound, perception, and generative algorithmic design create conditions for ecological emergence. This work provides a rigorous look at the intersection of art and life sciences.
