Mitochondrial Desires

Mitochondrial Desires is a camera controlled responsive installation. An interest in the shift from analogue frameworks to digital ones and how this world-view effects the concept of the human body motivates thsi work.. The human body has become colonized by technological innovations that can externally replicate internal processes, replace worn out organic parts, and digitize and store bodily information in computer databanks. This mixing of the organic and the technological creates a hybrid entity that we as humans we have not fully conceptualized. This ongoing interference in our bodily processes challenges our definitions of Human. As this continues we directly contest past theories of evolution and creation, leading ultimately to new definitions of life. This alienation from and the exhilaration of discovery towards the technologicalized body is explored in Mitochondreal Desires. Exhibited: Videopool Media Arts Centre. Winnipeg Art Gallery
