    Somatopologies

    July 1, 2018 Possible bodies


    September-November 2018: 소마토폴로지 at Seoul Mediacity Biennale, as part of Monoskop Exhibition Library


    September-November 2018: Somatopologies at the 4th Istanbul Design Biennial


    July-September 2018: Somatopologies at Constant_V, vitrine of Constant, Brussels.

    Somatopologies is a movie-in-the-making which contains 3D-renderings of diverse densities, wondering about the regimes of truth that converge in volumetric biomedical images. There is a coalition between tomography and topology at work to align math, flesh, computation, bone, anatomic science, tissue and language. But when life is made all too probable, Possible Bodies asks obliquely: what other “bodies” can be imagined?

    Somatopologies moves through the political fictions of somatic matter. Rolling from outside to inside, from a mediated exteriority to a computed interiority and back, it reconsiders the potential of unsupervised somatic depths and (un-)invaded interiors. Unfolding along situated surfaces, this post-cinematic experiment jumps over the probable outcomes of contemporary informatics, towards the possible otherness of a mundane (after)math.

    Somatopologies is a trans*feminist exercise in and of disobedient action-research. It cuts agential slices through technocratic paradigms in order to create hyperbolic incisions that stretch, rotate and bend Euclidean nightmares and Cartesian anxieties.
