Resumen

The following essay aims to analyze the cultural genealogy within dust. We propose dust as a new symbolic form because it is the plastic memory of the world and the aesthetic of immortality. Dust is a long-lived living material; it is a heterogeneous archaeological environment, a new start can be made with a posthumanism, post-fiction, post-death and post-linguistic re-framing for a new society and a new way of living the world. Art could make a difference in terms of reflection, giving awareness, creating new knowledge, hints and clues.
