Beatrijs Albers & Reggy Timmermans<\/strong> view their work as a \u2018perhaps\u2019. This means that, in a sense, it is undefined. This could be interpreted negatively, but in fact the glass is half full rather than half empty. After all, a \u2018perhaps\u2019 also implies potential, a possibility.<\/p>

The objects from which they construct their installations are so-called \u2018quasi-objects\u2019, a term frequently used by Bruno Latour, including in his \u2018We Have Never Been Modern\u2019. He borrows the term from the philosopher Michel Serres, who may himself have come across it in the work of the writer and Nobel Prize winner Jos\u00e9 Saramago. In the latter\u2019s book of the same name, the objects in the chapter \u2018Choses\u2019 do indeed possess a will of their own. It begins with the disappearance without a trace of a glass vase, followed by the vanishing of the steps of a staircase, front doors and subsequently entire buildings. For Latour, Serres and Saramago alike, quasi-objects occupy the middle ground between the human and the non-human, and above all give a voice to the latter. After all, things exist independently of how they appear to our consciousness.<\/p>

\"xoxkga6jffnhenagaldwp9rdrmo5bbj6t7wszytgisspqegx.png.png?w=1140&v=2\"In developing their work, Albers & Timmermans draw inspiration from the ideas of philosophers and ecologists who reflect on and work around the growing awareness of the intermingling of the human and the non-human, and the blurring of the boundary between the two, partly due to the rise of artificial intelligence. Like Latour, they believe, for example, that objects are not isolated, but embedded in a vast network of connections. In this regard, to quote Tristan Garcia, it is a question of what is in the thing and where the thing is in.<\/p>
