Abstract
The article analyzes the practices of non-human communication, defined as an attempt by philosophers and artists to present the world not through human eyes and to talk about ways of communication beyond the limits of human relations and human understanding. Using the example of a number of contemporary art projects, the strategies of deanthropization of an art object and exclusion of its external evaluation by the subject-viewer are analyzed. Despite the ingenuity in the artists' desire to take the “independent” viewer out of the brackets of artistic communication, the call for the actualization of non-human interactions in art practices remains part of the discourse on communications, which means that, although specific, it is still a variant of human communication. Although artists who are fond of object-oriented ontology and other non-human philosophies strive to present any objects outside of direct connection with a person, most of their implicit project (which is especially noticeable in art practices) consists in rethinking human activity, which means that non-human communication remains sufficiently human.
