Project Description

Corpscellule was an interdisciplinary art-research project conducted by Dr. Fiona Annis and Jason Knight that explores the intimacies, the sublime and the visceral grotesque found in the coupling of body(ies) and technology,

Through collaborative research and creation, this project challenged traditional notions of embodiment, exploring plural potentialities and speculative manifestations at the intersections of art, biology, and the body.

To investigate the complex relationships between embodiment, technology, and the natural world, CorpsCellule converges moist media, romantic conceptualism, and poetics. By experimenting with living entities (silkworms, orchids) and biotechnological techniques, this project reimagines the boundaries between laboratory, garden, and boudoir.

CorpsCellule pushes the boundaries between art, biology, and technology, fostering innovative perspectives on embodiment, care, and control. This project's poetic and speculative approach will contribute to ongoing conversations on the intersections of body, technology, and the natural world.
