    Co-emerging Economies: Exploring radical perspectives on post-anthropocentric economies.

    Available for (online) purchase


    Together with Philips Experience Design and Avans University of Applied Sciences, Baltan developed Co-emerging Economies, an artistic research trajectory based on post-anthropocentric points of view. The publication interrogates two opposing perspectives about 'kinship' in an economy which no longer puts the need of humans first. How will the relationships we develop affect the way we deem nature, other species, technology, even our own bodies?

    In the Gaia perspective we see ourselves as part of nature. In this view, we put the health of the ecosystem first rather than that of humans. In Etheria we strive to become part of a post-human (post-biological) intelligence, detaching ourselves from nature and the need for biological systems.

    The publication Co-Emerging Economies: Exploring radical perspectives on post-anthropocentric economies represents the materialisation of this trajectory with chapters written by Reon Brand, Godelieve Spaas, Lisanne Buik, René van Peer and Olga Mink, as well as contributions by workshop participants; Cynthia Hathaway, Bea Xu, Yannik Güldner, Elise Talgorn, Michal Mitro.

    The book features poems, illustrations, mindmaps and stories to reflect the wide variety of outputs and the eclectic mix of backgrounds and professions of the workshop participants. Artists Leif Czakai, Sunjoo Lee, Sixtine Blandin and Cecille Parnasse are responsible for depicting the discussions in compelling drawings.

    Designed by Gabriela Baka, the book is a next step in Baltan’s Homo Economicus trajectory, in which alternative economic paradigms are explored to re-think the current paradigm. It can be purchased through the website of Lecturis for 12,00 Euros, including postage.

    Co-emerging Economies: Exploring radical perspectives on post-anthropocentric economies is edited by Olga Mink and Reon Brand.
