@kat@gram.social My new performance depicted here, called Death and Resurrection, is inspired by Rogan Taylor’s incredible book The Death and Resurrection Show. The book is a fantastic history of performance narrative construction as a grandchild of shamanic healing rituals. I discovered it through mastodon after seeing it listed by @hokkaidomarket - thanks so much! And thank you also to @stux for hosting mstdn.social. I really benefit from being part of it #Fediverse

-- SHIFT TO STATIC --

A descent into the plane of transformation. The TechnoWitch undergoes a journey through dismemberment, a flattening. The nuanced waves broadening, masking; a fat sound.

Performance video depicts the ongoing demolition of the #BogwangDong area in #Seoul, a previously bustling area known for its #diversity. The area lies between the mosque to the northwest and the church to the southeast.

@panda happy new year Panda! Wishing you a smooth start and a lot of good things in 2026! Maybe see you at an Art Caffee soon :)

2025 was a year of extraordinary moments. My practice in focussed on the complexation of technologies and landscapes through water and I am looking forward to continuing this thread this year.

I’m very grateful to all my collaborators, producers and team for bringing these works to realisation and amplifying their impact.

This week, I’m sharing a look back, and a hint of what’s to come in 2026. Stay tuned.

New evidence Microplastics are radically transforming the planet. We must halt plastic production now, and research ways to adapt to what cannot be undone. #plasticstreaty #microPlastics #ocean #remediation

Happy New Year 2026. I took this photo just after midnight on 1st January. I’ve always been drawn to silhouettes of leaves and wild growth. These leaves cast beautiful shadows on illuminated concrete at night, bringing the wild into the city and showing that darkness sometimes allows us to also see the light.

In this photo you can see what it looks like when someone who spent 4 years studying dolomite using computational models in the 2000s finally sees actual dolomite for the first time over 20 years later. #phd #chemistry #rocks #geology #forgottendoctorate

A person with slightly greying hair and a jazzy cap is smiling excitedly as they point to a dark patch on a grey rock. There are trees in the background. The photo is taken at an angle of 45 degrees.

Idiots: "The arts have no purpose"

Saved by Stoppard

Sir, In 1993 my wife and I went to see the first production of Arcadia by Tom Stoppard (obituary, Dec 1), and in the interval I experienced a Damascene conversion. As a clinical scientist I was trying to understand the enigma of the behaviour of breast cancer, the assumption being that it grew in a linear trajectory spitting off metastases on its way. In the first act of Arcadia, Thomasina asks her tutor, Septimus: "If there is an equation for a curve like a bell, there must be an equation for one like a bluebell, and if a bluebell, why not a rose?" With that Stoppard explains chaos theory, which better explains the behaviour of breast cancer. At the point of diagnosis, the cancer must have already scattered cancer cells into the circulation that nest latent in distant organs. The consequence of that hypothesis was the birth of "adjuvant systemic chemotherapy", and rapidly we saw a striking fall of the curve that illustrated patients' survival.

Stoppard never learnt how many lives he saved by writing Arcadia.

Based on field recordings of water at the future site of #Korea’s National AI Data Centre, this immersive sound artwork is also includes the voices of scholars, artists and activists who are experts in the relationship between technological #infrastructure and #water.

The artwork is an immersive sound installation plus film and publication exploring the new ocean in the pipes of AI bodies. 2/4

Opening today: THIRST/For Knowledge at Asia Culture Center, Gwangju.

This work means a lot to me. I’ve long been troubled about the #environmental impact of #digitalmateriality. In THIRST/For Knowledge I use field recordings, film and text to focus on the rapid expansion of #AI #datacenters and their #wateruse.
1/4

AI data centres have water flowing through their pipes, a new ocean within private architecture, the bodies of artificial intelligence.

THIRST/For Knowledge confronts our new watery complexation with AI bodies in the intelligence age.

Opening 26th November at Asia Culture Centre. Artist talk 1-3pm 29th November.
