Gosmic Art, stronghold of Planetary Politics

Abstract

This text conceptually develops the idea of a gosmic art, linked to the body-shell-house activities of different animal architects. The term gosmic art arises from a doctoral research in Performing Arts in which the author studied barnacles – sessile crustaceans that inhabit intertidal zones – and proposes a transformation of the notion of the cosmic – the force that monopolizes the description of reality through the architecture of numinous, immeasurable relations that govern relations beyond the human – to the notion of the (neologism) gosmic, to deal with visceral forces, bodies of gosma, slime, the organic agglomeration that produces unfoldings upon itself as practices of creating territories. Gosmic art proposes to establish relationships in ecologies of planetary practices, returning to the bodies of the earth, to those who inhabit planet Earth, the capacity to act in relation to the environment and as subtle forces in the operation and constitution of the landscape.
