The Synthetic, the Syncretic and the Dispersed Self: Artistic Decentering within Digital Mediality as a Means of Accessing the Techno-Imagination of Cyberspace This thesis proposes a speculative post-anthropocentric theory of the dispersed self, and an artistic practice of decentering, in order to challenge dominant narratives of human exceptionalism and provide a substantively different approach to convention. The thesis posits that the value of the central presence of the human within creativity and culture has been overstated, and that this anthropocentric fallacy obscures and diminishes the role of the non-human whilst concurrently limiting human capacity for philosophical inquiry. Preceding from the question of whether it is possible to outsource creativity to machines and employing a methodology of decentering, the researcher consciously seeks to avoid authorial or creative influence and limit their actions to bridging between interfaces - taking the output from one and feeding it, as the input, into another. This process is repeated multiple times across different interfaces, with each iteration serving to further distance the work from the human. Using a combination of media, fine art and critical AI theories, the thesis articulates how decentering functions as an effective technique. Key findings include explicit evidence that neural networks are able to satisfy the essential criteria for creativity, and that there is evidence of a quasi-mind within cyberspace that proffers an alternative semiotic system. The schism between image and indexicality is also highlighted through the research. The potential shift in the consumer (and producer) from a figurative historical world view to one that engages with a predictive model interpreted through data performativity is mapped out across the artworks in such as way as to present a futurist post-historical, post-literate conclusion, suggesting a significant part of contemporary discourse on issues such as authorship, ownership, human exceptionalism and agency is inaccurate and potentially irrelevant. The implications of this research describe a shift in values and thinking that are arguably necessary to escape the endless self-referential and self-reverential malaise of late-stage capitalism and support the transition into a new technological and philosophical epoch.
