Harm van den Dorpel in group exhibition at NeMe, Cyprus
Harm van den Dorpel is part of group exhibition* 'Other Intelligence / Other Natures' at NeMe Arts Centre! From 18-20 October (Friday-Sunday), NeMe and curators Barbara Cueto and Bas Hendrikx proudly welcome you for the opening. Exact dates/program are listed below.
The refined concept of nature in the exhibition blurs the boundaries between nature and culture. The junction of nature, technology, and non-human intelligence has had strong impact and implications for the traces of material and immaterial colonial- and cultural heritage and legacy. This exhibition challenges conventional perspectives on heritage by redefining nature as a network of interconnected non-human intelligence. This perspective is in line with the idea that cultural heritage is deeply entwined with ecological systems and non-human entities. AI reshapes the understanding of immaterial heritage, with all its implicit bias. Certain works in this exhibition question how AI may inadvertently perpetuate colonial legacies. This goes beyond the historically dominant anthropocentric understanding of material, natural, and cultural heritage, in particular in the context of colonial oppression and its disregard for indigenous knowledge and ecosystems.
The posthuman understanding of nature and culture, combining new technologies with indigenous kinship with the land, is an invitation to consider cultural expression as not exclusive to human endeavours but involving collaborative processes with the technology, non-human entities and the broader environment.
