MicroCodex
+ Genetically modified organism
+ Bioreactor
+ LED-screen
In MicroCodex, micro-organisms found in the Silbersee - a toxic lake in the East-German town of Bitterfeld Wolfen - are genetically altered to carry a single sentence from Walt Whitman’s Song of Myself: “For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.” This new history encoded into their DNA is passed from generation to generation. With every transfer, there is a chance of genetic mutation that might alter the sentence’s structure, meaning, or legibility. The words reimagined by the metabolism of this microorganism, and by the toxic water it inhabits.

Soil Dogs
+ Ceramics
+ VLF and Seismic recordings
+ Geophone
The installation “Soil Dogs” explores the relationship between canines and seismic activity. Through a combination of ceramics, geo-acoustic and electromagnetic recordings, Soil Dogs connects the assumed earthquake warning signs to the local soil of Taiwan. A soil that has been shaped and is constantly reshaped by the seismic fluctuation of the island situated on the fault line between the Eurasian and Philippine Sea plates.

What Worlds Make Stories
+ Three-screen video installation
What Worlds Make Stories aims to disentangle the hidden violence within our human mythologies by looking at the changing myth of the unicorn from monster to commodity. The dialogue between the two monsters touches upon elements of pop culture, art history, and the different forms of knowledge that are prevalent within contemporary Western discourse. The script invites us to explore the parallels between the domestication of the unicorn, as depicted on the famous unicorn tapestries, and our relationship to our surroundings.

High Voltage Waggle Dance
+ Glass pods
+ VLF-recordings of honeybees
+ Speakers
High Voltage Waggle Dance uses VLF-recordings to cultivate a patient, sensory attentiveness to the visible and invisible energy-ecosystems within the atmosphere, the earth, and the more-than-human actors inhabiting it. The piece includes the crackling and whistling of lightning bolts, time-stretched signals of bees interacting with the receiver’s antenna, and recordings of electro-communication within the hives tended by the Slovenian beekeepers.

Waddenorgel
+ Organ pipes
+ Sensors
+ Drone motors
The Waddenorgel, or Organ of the Wadden Sea, is a sound installation consisting of sixteen organ pipes that react to the gape width and heartbeat of a single mussel lying in the Wadden Sea. Created in collaboration with the Waddenacademie and the Oerol festival, the Waddenorgel offers new practices of listening in order to get a deeper understanding of the mussel as a vital part of the oceans’ ecosystem.
