"Cellular Home Invasion"
International Solo Show.
Czong Institute of Contemporary Art. Seoul,South Korea; 2019.
With Dr. Aaron McKain, Prof. Allison Baker, Prof. Josh Gumilea, and Riley Miller.
Exhibit Abstract:
Cellular Home invasion uses sculpture, sound, and live programming to examine
the competing scientific paradigms that currently, but contradictorily,
define and govern the “health” and “normalcy”
of our post-digital bodies and homes.
By aesthetically enacting the competing realities of two recent “cellular” revolutions
-
the scientific discovery of the microbiome
-
the emerging medical consensus on the health effects
of the frequencies that power our phones and the “internet of things”
the IAA transformed the Czong Institute space into a surrealistic
(but scientifically true)
representation of the posthuman environments
that all citizens, patrons, and patients must now learn
(ethically and epistemologically) to navigate.
