    This project uses bioplastic prosthetics to extend the organismic edge as a territory of reactivity. This exploration of bioplastics was a first foray into this biosynthetic formation process, which engages both the intensive properties of materials – in this case agar, glycerin, urine, and chia – and extensive properties of the body to create new superorganismic relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Rather than ending at its fingers, the superorganism\u2019s boundaries thicken: creating tendrils from a stomach to the origin of a coffee bean; producing microbiotic plumes; storing memories in the Cloud. This project posits the body as a site of contestation and fertility, using additive biology to lean toward blurry symbiosis between a subject, its body, its food, and its waste. This prosthetic is a transformation from the contents of my refrigerator to the synthesis of new biological functionality that captures carbon, is completely degradable, and nourishes the skin and the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
