🪫Consider a computer that desires only your waste fluids in order to power itself. A TV that shuts off when it loses contact to the dead skin cells that slough off your body with each gentle movement. A smart phone with a charging port that switches out with a needle - blood for battery life, 1 liter for 45 minutes of charge time. As the technology that is pushed to the forefront continues to grow in the same cancerous vein as the dystopian imaginings that we were forewarned against in the texts of Octavia Butler, Mike Pondsmith, Ursula K. Le Guin, Harlan Ellison, William Gibson, and Philip K. Dick, how do we bring about reconciliations of this tech as well as create symbiotic systems with our tech for the good of our bodies, our ecosystems, and our self-actualizations?
🌐Showcase | July 16 – 18 🌐
