The Aesthetic Strategy

Unsound Methods uses sculpture, sound, and live programming to examine the competing scientific paradigms that currently, but contradictorily, define and govern the “health” and “normalcy” of our post-digital bodies and homes.

  • By aesthetically enacting the competing realities of two recent “cellular” revolutions

    the scientific discovery of the microbiome


    the emerging medical consensus on the health effects of the frequencies that power our phones and the “internet of things”

  • the IAA transformed the (super square) Rhetoric Society of America conference space

    into a surrealistic
    (but scientifically true)
    representation of the posthuman environments
    that all citizens, patrons, and patients must now learn
    (ethically and epistemologically) to navigate.
