About Us Without Us: Post-Anthropocentric Cinematographies of Human Exclusion Zones

Summary/Abstract: The text focuses on post-anthropocentric cinematographies of human exclusion zones, created within theory- and practice-based research conducted with artistic methods. The examples include: research activities of the Strelka Institute ("The New Normal" and "Geocinema"), art by Emma Charles, John Gerrard, Evan Roth, Trevor Paglen and Liam Young (also within Unknown Field Division), Young’s theoretical concepts, as well as theories by Benjamin Bratton. The human exclusion zones include machine landscapes, such as data centres, server farms, automated production lines and mining sites that provide raw geological materials used in technological production. Also important are the networked circulation of images as data without human involvement (machine vision by artificial intelligence) and global data from sensory networks. All examples are discussed in the context of art projects using the medium of film.
