The nonlinear patterns of a superorganism’ is the fifth event in the series Humans, Post-humans, Machine. The talk unfolds at the intersection of science, technology and contemporary art. It expands on Paula Nishijima and Tobias Seidl’s researches on themes such as the relationships between technology, humans and other species; interspecies communication; adaptation processes; or collective behaviour for the ecological transitions. Drawing on theories of self-organization and swarm intelligence – common in the collective behaviour of decentralized systems, whether natural or artificial – Nishijima has been exploring since 2019 how living organisms work together without a central control to adapt to changing conditions.
