digital biology (variable resolution), tablet, and ambisonic sound space
Berlin, 2019.
Performed by Kit Kuksenok and Sage Jenson @ the Workshop on Forster in Kreuzberg, Berlin on 19 October 2019, as part of the exhibition dismantling the face. Check out our paper published in xCoAx 2020 for more about the piece.
“[…] reconstitutes fragments of scientific work. Using ink, tracing paper, video simulation, and tactile interaction, we hallucinate through complex networks that underpin biological and sociological systems. The viewer is invited to participate in the construction of meaning, as well as bask in the generative dismantling of the scientific face. [...] The images in science are the common thread and mediator, objects with meaning and agendas for both scientists (who produce them) and everyone else (who consume them). Through its human appendages, this face has the ability to materialize; often with dire social and environmental consequences. This exhibition reconfigures and scrambles the scientific face, collaboratively dismantling it piece-by-piece to reveal an expanded theater of operations, unexpected agency, and sensory lines of flight.”
