Technogenesis

[T]echnogenisis, channeling capital into mechanical automatization, self-replication, self-improvement, and escape into intelligence explosion.— Nick Land Technogenesis has been used to refer to the idea that the human species is defined by its co-evolution with various tools and technologies; or, that the inside – subjectivity – is always contaminated by the outside – technics.

"Technogenesis, or the co-evolution of humans and technics, is virtually as old as the human species. In the twentieth century, however, the advent of intelligent technologies has significantly changed the ways in which co-evolution is proceeding. These changes include not only neurological transformations in human brains but also the dynamics of interdependence between complex human systems and complex technical systems. The implications for theoretical frameworks include the need for broader definitions of cognition that include the possibility for nonconscious cognition and re-interpreting the creation of meaning."
Technogenesis may refer to:
* The views of Bernard Stiegler regarding the relation between humans origins and technology.
* An educational procedure by the Stevens Institute of Technology.
* Hayles argues for contemporary technogenesis—the belief that humans and technics are coevolving—and advocates for what she calls comparative media studies, a new approach to locating digital work within print traditions and vice versa.
