Unbound Variable
Description
The exhibition "Unbound Variable" invites viewers into a dynamic exploration of the fluid and often contested boundaries that define and separate forms and life in our increasingly hybridized world. Here, the artwork serves as a meditative conduit through which the dialogues between technology, nature, and human identity are unveiled and interrogated.
In an era marked by rapid technological advancement and ecological crisis, "Unbound Variable" seeks not only to highlight the interdependence of organic and synthetic realms but to challenge the capitalist frameworks that commodify nature and data alike. The artworks selected traverse a range of media—from digital installations to bio-art and ecological interventions—each piece acting as a critique of anthropocentric views and an advocate for a more-than-human perspective.
This exhibition is a call to reconceptualize the binaries that have long governed our understanding of the world: natural and artificial, human and non-human, subject and object. By transcending these dualities, the works collectively underscore a leftist critique of the structures of power and domination—be they colonial, patriarchal, or capitalist—that perpetuate these divisions.
