Abstract

SHORT PAPER. Technoshamanism combines traditional shamanic technologies with emerging technologies based in silicon (dry), biology (wet) and hybrid (moist), in the service of healing and sustaining life. This paper explores how contemporary artists pursue expanded forms of consciousness by symbiotically joining technoscientific tools and shamanic techniques.
