‘Exo’ stands for the “satellite space” beyond the domain and the range of that which is immediate, familiar and directly visible [1]; it is beyond the narrow disciplinary competencies, institutionalised knowledge, frame, control and appropriation [2]; it is the extended field of cross-disciplinary integration and collaboration, the field of the research challenges and realisation on multiple levels.
‘Exomilieu’ thus is not just any kind of the existing, expected, easily experienced or predominantly built context over-saturated with all the socially constructed identities; its physical aspects are basic, superior to such significations, immaterial or at the scale of the matter which has more subtle effects on our sensory mechanisms.
Reacting on and uncovering these layers of space, ‘exointelligentinstrument’ is its temporary mirror – ‘eye’ – at the same time the spectator and active performer, both external/privileged and internal/inherent, distanced/metacognitive and mediating/diagrammatic agent; through technological integration of human and superhuman features, a creator of the new cosmography.

Exo upućuje na “satelitski prostor” izvan dometa i domena neposrednog ili u potpunosti poznatog; izvan uske disciplinarne kompetentnosti, institucionalizovanog znanja, okvira, kontrole i aproprijacije; predstavlja polje istraživačkog izazova i realizacije.
‘Exo-millieu’ nije bilo koji očekivani, postojeći, dominantno građeni kontekst sa svim društveno konstruisanim identitetima kojima je zasićen; njegov fizički prostor je bazičan, nematerijalan ili u razmeri materije koja na naše senzorne mehanizme ima znatno suptilnije efekte izmičući diskurzivnim greškama.
Reagujući na i otkrivajući ove ravni prostora u novim estetskim registrima, ‘exo-intelligent-instrument’ je njegovo privremeno ogledalo – “oko”; istovremeno je i posmatrač i učesnik – i spoljašnji/nepripadajući privilegovani i inherentni unutrašnji/sveprožimajući, i distancirani/metakognitivni i medijatorski/dijagramatski agent; tehnološkom integracijom humanog i nadhumanog, kreator nove kosmografije.
