The performance «Genesis Machine, la pompa agricultura transsubstantia» conjures and profanates constitutive moments of the agricultural-industrial technosphere that radically has been changing our notions of bodies and landscapes. Bioorganic vampirism, cybernetic control and resonance and nanotechnological transformations of life determine the scientific alternatives in vivo, in vitro, in silicio to the ecological mismanagement of the present.
La pompa agricultura transsubstantia negotiates with a ritual procession through the HKW auditorium the lack of physical experiences of vulnerability in these synthesized natures. The performance searches for social orientations and situatedness in the contingent networks of scientific objects and economic optimizations. An abstract ecological body, a posthuman assemblage of nature, landscape and laboratory, is activating granular sound synthesis and gets feedbacked by intimate visual scans. It performatively embodies the clandestine logics of pluripotency and fungibility in synthetic biology labs.
