Summary:

If we want a socially and environmentally just future, do we need a radical new theory of change - or to radically change theory? It's this question Gary Hall and his collaborators have been addressing for over twenty years with experimental publishing projects such as Open Humanities Press, Liquid and Living Books, and the Culture-Led Re-Commoning of Cities. Unsettling received ideas of the author and the book, originality and copyright, real and artificial intelligence, these uncommon communities of theorist-mediums are testing the 'non-modernist-liberal' modes of creating and sharing knowledge enabled by various media technologies, from writing and print, through photography and video, to computers and GenAI. By thinking outside the masked black box that renders Euro-Western knowledge-making practices invisible - keeping the human ontologically separate from the nonhuman, be it animals, the planet or algorithmic machines - they show there's no such thing as the human, the nonhuman already being in(the)human.
