Experimenting the Human: Art, Music, and the Contemporary Posthuman

English | 2023 | ISBN: 0226823350 | 227 pages | True PDF | 7 MB
In Experimenting the Human , G Douglas Barrett argues that experimental music speaks to the contemporary posthuman, a condition in which science and technology decenter human agency amid the uneven temporality of postwar global capitalism. Time moves forward for some during this period, while it seems to stand still or even move backward for others. Some say we’re already posthuman, while others endure the extended consequences of never having been considered fully human in the first place. Experimental music reflects on this state, Barrett contends, through its interdisciplinary involvements in postwar science, technology, and art movements.
