‘Dissect the Insects’: Transformative experiences

This research and practice looks to (re) conceptualize the relations between the natural and the social, and between the biological and the cultural. Nature, culture, bodies, texts all unravel into a limitless ‘force field of differentiation’, a complex interaction of phenomena. In consequence, I have chosen to tackle and combine the exploration of nature and technology while mainly focusing on ‘insect’ like traits and behaviours because it seems to me that there is quite an uncanny fit between the nature of microscopic mechanisms and the growth of our modern society.
