Il Worlding come ecosistema: gli ambienti speculativi di Pierre Huyghe

This article examines Pierre Huyghe's artistic practice through the lens of worlding and ecosystemic thinking, focusing on three pivotal works: Untilled (2012), After ALife Ahead (2017), and Variants (2021-ongoing). Drawing on Federico Campagna's concept of "existential fiction" and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's theories of deterritorialization, the study analyzes how Huyghe transcends traditional site-specific art by creating what he terms "environment-entities": autonomous ecosystems where biological, technological, and climatic agencies interact. The research demonstrates how Huyghe's practice evolves from natural self-regulating systems to complex bio-technological environments, ultimately achieving in Variants a radical fusion of physical and digital milieus through artificial intelligence. The article argues that this development represents a significant shift in contemporary art practice, moving beyond Rosalind Krauss's post-medium condition toward what might be termed "algorithmic falsification"—an emergent process where reality mutations arise autonomously from the interaction between artificial intelligence, environmental sensors, and natural processes. This investigation contributes to current debates on post-anthropocentric art practices and suggests new theoretical frameworks for understanding artworks that operate beyond traditional conceptions of authorship and intentionality.
