Viscosity Symposium [deep hot noosphere] is a neurohistorical fiction stationed between machines, skins and embedded thought. It follows mutant superheroes, vampires, insect netherworlds, lucid dreams, and other deviations of subjectivity informed by recent ideas on cognition, intelligence and synthetic materials. Historical records of metamorphosis and monstrosity jam with ideas of computational reason, ancient origins of cybernetics, and exfoliating angels. A crowded scenario emerges, combining both the dynamics of artificiality and the dynamics of surfaces.
