Dimitris Papadopoulos delves into the realm of Experimental Practice, where he explores the immense potential for creating novel political and social movements by reconfiguring the very material conditions of existence. Instead of solely targeting existing institutions in pursuit of social justice, Papadopoulos advocates for the establishment of alternative ontologies of everyday life that have the power to redefine the meanings of politics and justice. These "alterontologies," intricately linked to technoscience, are examined in diverse contexts, ranging from AIDS activism and the financialization of life to hacker communities and neuroscience. They form the foundation of lifestyles that embrace the profound interdependence between the human and nonhuman worlds. Addressing a wide array of concerns about politics and justice, social movements, matter and ontology, everyday practice, technoscience, the production of knowledge, and the human and nonhuman, Papadopoulos proposes that the development of alterontologies would foster more effective political and social organizing.
