Abstract
We present an analysis of two episodes of “cancellation” motivated by the pres-ence of living entities in aesthetic devices exhibited in the artistic circuit of Bue-nos Aires during the year 2022. The tensions between the materialities of the living, institutions of the art field and the publics of social networks caused the blockage of a biosemiotic coexistence. In this action, the poetics of the living that would enable a deanthropomorphization of thought found no place in the art circuit and could also have activated a revision of the culture / nature bino-mial.
