商品描述

In this book, Zarko Paic offers a radical rethinking of aesthetics, ontology, and the technosphere in the age of digital transformation and posthumanism. Challenging classical metaphysics, Paic explores how cybernetics, autopoiesis, and visualization reshape our understanding of art, the body, and Being itself. Through a synthesis of philosophy, contemporary art theory, and technoscience, the book argues that the technosphere is not merely a technological environment but a new ontological condition--one that redefines freedom, embodiment, and the human in terms of synthetic cognition and algorithmic life.

Spanning topics from chaos and entropy to transgenic art and the ethics of war, Paic constructs a compelling vision of the posthuman condition, where singularity replaces God and ontology dissolves into code. This book is essential reading for scholars of digital aesthetics, visual studies, posthumanism, and contemporary philosophy, offering a provocative framework for understanding art and existence in the era of planetary computation.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在這本書中,Zarko Paic 提出了對美學、本體論和技術圈的徹底重新思考,特別是在數位轉型和後人類主義的時代。Paic 挑戰傳統的形而上學,探討了控制論、自我生成和可視化如何重塑我們對藝術、身體以及存在本身的理解。通過哲學、當代藝術理論和技術科學的綜合,這本書主張技術圈不僅僅是一個技術環境,而是一種新的本體條件——這種條件重新定義了自由、具身性和人類,並以合成認知和算法生命為基礎。

涵蓋從混沌和熵到轉基因藝術和戰爭倫理的主題,Paic 構建了一個引人入勝的後人類狀態的願景,在這裡,奇點取代了上帝,而本體論則溶解為代碼。這本書是數位美學、視覺研究、後人類主義和當代哲學學者必讀的資料,提供了一個挑釁性的框架,以理解在行星計算時代的藝術和存在。
