dialogues for one (60 page A5 booklet)
Follow Lamia and Field as they explore what it means to be human in the contemporary landscape. Will artificial intelligence annihilate humanity? Or will humanity use technology to annihilate itself? Given The Human’s capacity for destruction, is it even worth pursuing the humanist project? Or are the solutions for a better world found outside humanism altogether? All these questions are in play as Lamia and Field get to know each other.

A platonic dialogue; a collection of images; a review of a contemporary TV show; an encounter with the archaic mother; a psychic rebirthing; or else, a discussion about the intra-active co-becoming of machine and human, and the re-becoming of culture/nature. dialogues for one is all these and more. If there is any validity in the demand for a more-than-binary discussion about AI and humans today, then this cyberpunk collection of ideas, founded in difference rather than identity, aims to provide a multitude of possible entry points.
