What if, we can use living organisms as a potential medium to store, represent and display data? Evidently, SD memory cards are known for this function. However, what happens when they cease to function properly?
Technology is changing how we live, but it isn’t permanent. This sparked my interest in cross contaminating technology and biology. Perhaps, to find a way to store data that grows and lives on as a visual ‘memory’.
Through the intersection between art and science, I find myself expanding new ways of thinking about technology. Creating a great parallel between how media, specifically digital media can infect and taint the human psyche.
Final work
‘BI0xMICR0º’ provokes growth, time, and living memory – represented as visual portraits of and from geographical sites. Both holding digital data, as well as imbued with geographical and geological information. The work seeks to disrupt our expectations of networks and digital map services. Each card contains a different set of data, inaccessible and concealed over time by live bacteria that grows and spreads across the petri dish.
