Abstract

This article takes a brief theoretical and reflective look at Rogério Ribeiro plenary session at the What If'23 Conference. The theme of the speaker's session about the potential of speculative biology and from that we began to explore the implications of it in the artistic field. Thus, this article assumes itself as a theoretical-reflective incursion, built from the artistic works of Patricia Piccinini and Suzanne Anker, through which we intend to develop themes such as the Anthropocene, the grotesque and posthumanism
