Experiment 752 - Boris Marinin. 2021

I am using approaches in object-oriented ontology, Techno-Shamanism, Animism, and Buddhism to simplify the metaphors of my dialog with myself. The brain a stormy ocean of information and our mind is a lost ship, trying to get to the shore by praying. I need a tool, an assistant, a steersman to direct the brain for certain orders. To translate my own chaos of information and to steer my mind-ship to the shore of the new humankind. This tool will be a cybernetic tool, a technological tool. The word cybernetics comes from Greek kubernētēs ‘steersman’, from kubernan ‘to steer’. Technology is a "science of craft", from Greek τέχνη, techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand"; and -λογία, -logia. The question, if the steersman will be intelligent will remain open, as in a post-truth era, Turing test is a valuation of human rights.

An interconnected techno-animistic world will bring me to self-optimized and a sublime state of singularity. In my practice, I take control of my sublime experience from outside abstract control into our own hands as I will control this experience myself. The outside control is religion, state, government, and so on. for centuries outside forces controlled what is forbidden and what was allowed, thus controlled my consciousness – what I think, enjoy, what makes me feel awe or spiritually elevated. To develop into the state of post-human, I need to shed the old restrictive skin of current thinking. The object I am trying to control, the lost ship of my mind is in its own entity.

GREENHOUSE - Boris Marinin. 2019

The video was made with a thought of climate change and the "greenhouse" effect - the trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere, due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface. The greenhouse in my video is a mental\psychological place. Out of this state born the corpse of overwhelming sensitivity, we are overshadowed by blinding sun and yet in dark. The negative environmental effect is the chaos inside of the human. If we want to improve nature - we need to understand the chaos inside of us.
