Evolution by choice : bodies and minds on

Abstract

We are facing the fact that our capital-centered economics, —built on a reduced understanding of life that spread through colonialism—, have led us to seriously injure earth and multispecies life. Inspired in indigenous-Mesoamerican art-symbolism within the cross-disciplinary field of multispecies studies, my research aims to illustrate the complex nature of the living as a context to collectively envision alternative life-based ethics and thus, economics. Through the metaphorical dialogue between two concrete entities: a fern, seen as a biological and symbolic system (context for evolution) and the Icelandic turf house, seen as living craft (evolutionary design); I will reflect on the concept of fractal time, drawing a picture about why it might be essential for our evolutionary process.Keywords: Conscious Evolution, Time Decolonization, Mesoamerican Thinking, Icelandic Turf-house
