The series stems from the idea of plastic as the skin of the Electroctopus being. Microplastics accumulate in the body, in the brain, across ecosystems, animals, and biomes—in the world as a whole.
Contrary to what the hype surrounding the idea of A.I. tries to sell us, the brain does not exist deterritorialized, without a body, inside a glass dome or in a database server. Cognition is the emergence of a highly plastic and adaptable organ that exists because of and through a body, shaped by billions of years of evolution into what it is. A.I. is neither intelligent nor artificial; Large Language Models are not forms of cognition, and a server is not a brain.
Multivariate probabilistic analysis models do not exhaust what thought itself is.
