Rather than taking a position that attempts a complete (and completely utopian) abandonment of anthropomorphic thinking, we need to adopt more encompassing and critical forms of thinking beyond the human. In doing so, I consider so called contact zones - spaces where “cultures (and species) meet, clash and grapple with each other, often in contexts of highly asymmetrical relations of power”. In the digital, these contact zones can be exaggerated to reveal often unexpected relations between agents across species, scales and timeframes.
