Statement:
This project explores the silkworm as an activator of dynamic interdisciplinary dialogues and processes that encompasses insect architecture, physics, biology, philosophy, sound art, and new media. This exhibition aims for silkworms to be multimedia collaborators in transversal and collective ways, creating diverse techniques and sensory systems that often take the form of sculpture, installation or textiles. It is also intended to activate philosophical approaches that question anthropocentrism. Emphasizing speeches, and non-human perspectives through more than human encounters (Manning), non-human / human processes (Haraway); and at the same time several post-human performative strategies are examined as intra-acting (Barad). This decentralized dialogue allows our attention to be drawn to processes that can no longer be described in purely anthropocentric parameters.
