Spirituality

Spirituality is the manifestation of life, the notion that we are interconnected as a whole. It is a state of consciousness that allows us to recognize ourselves as part of a diverse and vibrant organism. Life flows and radiates cosmic energy in a continuous and unlimited way. Spirituality allows us to tune in to that energy and vibrate harmoniously with the universe. It is a fluid and transformative experience that connects us with the sacred and the transcendental, expanding our perception and understanding of the world.

Francesca Ferrando: The Art of Posthuman Existence – Interactive Workshop

My work is rooted in the principles of Philosophical Posthumanism and explores the possibilities of creating a new species that combines biological beings and machines. A key question I ponder is whether machines will ever develop the ability to experience emotions.

Encounter with a cyborg

I had the opportunity to meet the cyborg artist and trans-species activist Neil Harbisson in the Design and Research Seminar at A/D/O, Brooklyn. Harbisson is known for having an antenna implanted in his head that allows him to perceive visible and invisible colors to the human eye. Through audible vibrations in his skull, he can also perceive colors from space, images, videos, music or phone calls using an Internet connection. He is color blind and the first human being officially recognized as a cyborg by a government (United Kingdom).

The logic behind truth is the pursuit of the unknown. But we cannot know truth. We can mention truth, exclaim truth, and even transmit truth, but we can’t know “truth” itself – we can only know the words, images, or ideas through which truth becomes embodied. Through this embodied intellectual approach to truth, we create a delusional image of power over reality. Faced with truth, our gaze dislocates, twists, and unfolds. But frankly, this perspective we hold of the modern problems of natural knowledge and the limits of our experience of the world has become a worn argument.
