Anthropocentrism

In Bogost Chapter 3

“The risk of fallinging into anthropocentrism is strong. Indeed, I’ll take things farther” anthropocentrism is unavoidable, at least for humans.”

Problems with our work-

During group discussion last week, we are suppose to choose a word from Offenburg’s audio track and brainstorm audio and visual ideas for the next submission. We chose the word “Revolution” and our ideas were limited within the word itself. Even in my essays, I feel that my work is limited because it work always falls back to anthropocentrism.

How can we avoid falling back to anthropocentrism in our work? I am finding this a struggle in our projects and throughout the studio.
