Post-Human Kin-Aesthetiks


Post-Human Kin-Aesthetiks is an ongoing design research project exploring how embodied, kin-aesthetik learning can be reclaimed and re-embedded into our relationship with technology, systems and sound. The project attempts to construct a series of temporary autonomous sonic and cybernetic networks using handmade analog components, subverted very low frequency antennas and live installations.  

These experiments are rooted in learning through doing: tuning into electromagnetic landscapes and using physical interaction as a way of understanding space, signal, and structure. The project samples methodology from breakbeat culture, cybernetic theory, and post-capitalist philosophy, constructing interfaces that allow others to access obscured knowledge.  

Operating across installations, writings and physical apparatus, Post-Human Kin-Aesthetiks positions itself as both a practical and theoretical framework, using antennas as metaphorical and literal tools for “dowsing” information, seeking new forms of collective agency, and testing the limits of autonomy within the capitalist mainframe.  

The project questions how we can design ways of knowing that resist abstraction and instead remain grounded in sensation, context, and presence: what kinds of networks (sonic, social, spatial) might emerge from that process?
