Art in the age of the Anthropocene has the power to take care of existences marginalized by the process of rationalization of life, to subvert the traditional aesthetic process whereby an amorphous matter merely needs to be molded by a spiritual process of formation. If the Anthropocene is the age in which the planetary expansion of a universal and abstract form of humanity seems to be realized, at the same time, it also exposes the failure of anthropocentrism, as it shows how humanity and its existence depend on non-human entities. As an age that presents the possibility of the end of man as its own horizon, it also impels, evidently, the liberation from this horizon and the proliferation of histories without horizon and without ends.
