Abstract [en]

Maria Rogg’s essay offers a speculative fabulation of living a post-apocalyptic future of relationality through the second-person account of a university student in 2038. It presents a world governed by and striving for the principles of co-existence and care through educational and aesthetic means, following the strategy of Ogbon Gaia, to reimagine and mend a world that fell apart due to the hegemony of computational capitalism. It is also a lifelog, a written journal of the experiences and rewards of a university course on biohacking as an existential technique to sustain ambiguity and intervene relationality. Based on four modules that attend to the human as becoming capable of inventing alternatives to a violent, exploitative status quo, biohacking is recounted in layers that unsettle common notions of human enhancement.
