Redefining paradigms of creation around a renewed vision of humankind and nature.

A renaissance is underway that can be described as ""wild,"" articulated around a renewed vision of humankind and nature. It can be seen as a response to environmental, societal, and ethical issues so acute that the very survival of humankind is in question. Artistic, philosophical, and political, it builds on the scientific revolutions of the last decades and positions itself in relation to technoscientific and transhumanist promises. Within this wild renaissance, humankind no longer aspires to impose its will on a passive, purposeless nature. Instead, it begins to listen to a new partner: the world around it. As humanity discovers the potential of these forces, it enters a relationship with them and allys its energy with its own.

This volume explores this burgeoning renaissance by bringing together established figures in contemporary art and design with emerging creators at the forefront of this new movement. The works and practices analyzed here are shown in a new light, with a fresh understanding of their historical grounding, conceptual underpinnings, and significance for the present.
