INTERVIEWS


THE VIRAL MEDIUM

“Besides materiality, we all know that the material narrative of viruses is not neutral at all. It is actually a very powerful material, as it is going to change the world. ”
-- Pei-ying Lin


BIOLOGIZING THE INFOCENE

“I try to highlight the tensions between our map of the world - the information we produce to describe phenomena - and the world itself. ”
-- Michael Sedbon


FERMENTATION AS TRANSMATERIAL ALCHEMY

“It is, in essence, magic. It radically shifts what it means to be a self and disrupts our ideas of individualism and biological essentialism.” -- Tiffany Jaeyeon Shin

“We need to think about biological systems on their own terms. All these really remarkable things like renewal, reproduction, repair are possible because of certain responsive qualities that also make the system unpredictable and difficult to navigate.”
-- Andrea Ling


HYPERNATURAL MANUFACTURE
“I keep on reflecting: how can we have more control of nature, while still respecting the ‘well-being’ of nature? “

-- Jiwei Zhou
