Oscar Santillán - Knowing and Not-Knowing

From the poetics of matter to ‘machines of loving grace,’ this conversation with artist Oscar Santillán charts a course through subtly networked ecologies of knowledge—and the unknown—that he calls ‘Antimundo.’ He describes how his practice is animated by research into technologies both ancient and emerging, ponders noise as a strategy for AI, and explains how an indigenous coding device from the Andes might offer relational clues to the future.
