PDF-[BOOK]-A Bestiary of the Anthropocene: Hybrid Plants, Animals, Minerals, Fungi, and Other

Equally inspired by medieval bestiaries and observations of our damaged planet A Bestiary of the Anthropocene is a compilation of hybrid creatures of our time Designed as a field handbook it aims at helping us observe navigate and orientate into the increasingly artificial fabric of the worldPlastiglomerates surveillance robot dogs fordite artificial grass antenna trees SarsCovid2 decapitated mountains dronefighting eagles standardised bananas each of these specimens are symptomatic of the rapidly transforming postnatural era we live in Often without us even noticing them these creatures exponentially spread and coexist with usA Bestiary of the Anthropocene seeks to capture this precise moment when the biosphere and technosphere merge and mesh into one new hybrid body What happens when technologies and their unintended consequences become so ubiquitous that it is difficult to define what is natural or not What does it mean to live in a hybrid environment made of organic and synthetic matter What new specimens are currently populating our planet at the beginning of the 21st century.
