Sympoietic is a solo installation of bioplastic light sculptures by Sabrina Merayo Nuñez. As visitors move through the space, motion sensors activate the sculptures. Agar bubbles and roots create a microbiome that will evolve over the course of the exhibition. Sabrina generates a series of co-created events within these cocoons and nests.

The processes of nature, the human capacity to manage them and the technologies that have become mediators between them are three axes that Sabrina Merayo Nunez is interested in exploring and bringing together in her work. She think of tools and technology as extensions of our own perception (could we also say of our own humanity?): lenses, machines, biotechnology, AI, programming, allow us to expand our senses and capacities of understanding and modify the world we live in, pushing us to question the materiality of our own physicality. 

How can we create art and life through these complex intersections?
