Summary
Technoshamanism merges traditional shamanic practices with emerging technologies—silicon-based (dry), biological (wet), and hybrid (moist)—to heal and sustain life. Contemporary artists use this synthesis to pursue expanded forms of consciousness by symbiotically combining technoscientific tools with shamanic techniques. The paper examines these artistic practices and their role in fostering altered states of awareness.
