The
title
of
the
piece
comes
from
a
series
of
works
developed
from
my
large
installation,
The
Green
Cyberweb
.
This
particular
artwork
was
generated
in
response
to
the
biopunk
movement,
the
open
source
initiative
in
biotechnology.
In
the
center
of
the
artwork
there
is
an
organic
mechanized
mnemonic
device
that
powers
and
interacts
with
several
components.
My
creative
process
started
with
the
idea
of
an
organic
computer;
a
pulsating
membrane
that
suggests
memory
can
take
a
visual
shape
and
become
a
device
for
new
forms
of
inorganic
intelligence.
The
forms
are
a
visual
interpretation
of
possible
future
technologies,
with
focus
on
changing
the
esthetic
experience
from
cyber
and
bio
forms.
My
intention
is
to
create
a
dialogue
about
the
interaction
between
people
and
new
technologies,
about
socio-political
issues
raised
through
these
dynamic
developments.
Most
of
my
work
consists
of
installations
that
create
the
experience
of
being
emerged
in
the
artwork,
surrounded
by
it,
with
the
extra
visual
over-stimulation
provided
by
the
medium
of
light
and
mass-
produced
objects.
At
the
same
time
I
am
attempting
to
contain
the
viewer’s
experience
within
the
physical
reality
of
consumer
electronics
and
the
aesthetic
of
mass-produced
materials.
I
believe
in
the
fabrication
of
concepts
as
well
as
materials
and
in
the
processes
to
bring
new
interpretation
to
cultural
norms.
The
changing
meaning
of
nature
through
the
promising
optimism
of
innovation
and
technological
progress
is
a
source
of
inspiration
for
my
art.
The
formal
aspect
of
my
work
is
subversive
to
the
actual
message;
the
transformation
of
inorganic
material
into
visual
organic
forms
participates
aesthetically
in
the
antithetic
perception
of
the
real
vs.
articial,
where
real
is
naturally
occurring
and
articial
requires
human
intervention.
