[Annotation: Paz Tornero] As the planet becomes telematically unified, the self becomes dispersed. The convergence of dry silicon pixels and biologically wet particles is creating a moistmedia substrate for art where digital systems, telematics, genetic engineering and nanotechnology meet. A technoetic aesthetic not only will embrace new media, technology, consciousness research and non­classical science but also will gain new insights from older cultural traditions previously banished from materialist discourse. In the present post­ 9/11 crisis, collaborative transdisciplinary research is needed if a truly planetary culture is to emerge that is techno­ethical as well as techno etic. In this paper artist and researcher Roy Ascott defends the need of working on collaborative environments in order to find a new technoetic that matches with the new postcontemporary social’s need. I would like to add also the need of researching new aesthetics theories that could help to understand the art­science practices instead of trying to theorized transdisciplinary collaboration under traditional and classic authors of aesthetic in contemporary art.
