P017 →A BOOK FOR DISSAPEARANCE PUBLICATION, May 2024


This book is the outcome of a collective process that took place during the Postnatural Independent Program 2024 @instituteforpostnaturalstudies.


While disappearance may seem abstract or esoteric, apocalyptic or hopeless, it is also a de-centring tool: could humans disappear from the centre to re-emerge in a more horizontal and generous periphery? Disappearance has tangible implications for both individual and collective action.
In this book, the concept of disappearance emerges as a generative alternative––including a variety of short poetic and experimental texts on the multiple possibilities that surface from our engagement with AI alter-egos and a collective artistic exercise with image generation technologies. What happens when we de-centre by loosing control?

A Book for Disappearance explores themes of extinction and ecology through the lens of contemporary technology and using AI and image-generation platforms as collective tools. It grapples with the contradictions of living in this world full of worlds and full of crises, while revindicating processes of nomadic becoming, transcending fixed identities, and collective emergence. Texts by Laura Tripaldi, Institute of Queer Ecologies, and Stacy Alaimo provide further food for thought, and invite readers into recondite explorations—of parasitic spaces and ghost bodies through materialist feminisms; of oak archives and the previous lives that forests can narrate to us; of acid oceans and the psychedelic trips they might afford.
