In this course
Yuk Hui is a philosopher working at the intersection of technology, cosmology, and aesthetics who argues for rethinking AI and technical systems through non-Western epistemologies and what he calls "cosmotechnics." The course readings mobilize Hui's work—particularly *Art and Cosmotechnics*—to challenge Western-centric assumptions about the relationship between technology, nature, and culture, positioning his engagement with Simondon and Cantwell Smith as foundational to understanding how art can respond to technological systems. His intervention matters here because he refuses both techno-utopianism and pessimism, instead proposing that artistic and philosophical practice can articulate alternative technical imaginations grounded in broader cosmological questions.
