Treatise on Vegetable Logic: Technical Edges for History’s Illiterate
My work is an ongoing studio of experiments thinking about where writing can occur. After migrating from the page to the computer, it travelled between social sites back into installations, performances and laboratory media. My exploration of what I see as an explosion of technical spaces has led me to think about the tendency underneath that, an industrialized scientific method, as the chief writing medium of our time. Technology and computers yes, but this is held up by the material-knowledge spaces that incubate their growth - this tangible grounding moves the technological into biological space.
While biotechnology is an extension or an epistemological contextualizing of technology, it is also a marked regression. Inscription itself starts largely in biotechnologies and continually returns to its materials. This coupled with the accelerationist destiny of drowning the new as the old, makes for a techne both ephemeral and nonsemantic. It is this newness and tradition, meaninglessness and evocative saturation that makes the biomaterial both entirely cumbersome in an archival sense and yet persistently present.
