The Mars Project is an artistic investigation into boundary conditions of life beyond terrestrial settings. This research involves collaboration with scientists and working with planetary bio-chambers to expose live bacterial samples. Our interest lies in what happens inside the bio-chamber such as response patterns produced by bacterial colonies and finding strategies of interacting with these samples.

The Mexico Project looks at introducing modified plants into ‘pristine wilderness’ revolving around stories and discourses of bio-invasion, landscaping with genetics, borders of belonging and biopollution. This (a)live disturbance involved a journey and two transplantations with the releasing of transgenic cacti into the wild into two different domains of nature in Mexico.

The Cactus Project entailed the use of the agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer introducing keratin genes into cells of cacti. The transformed cells were used to regenerate engineered transgenic cacti. The aim of the experiment was having the keratins expressed in cactus cells morphologically similar to hair and for the cactus to produce it externally.

Sonic Impairment addresses a sonic experience from an impaired hearing perspective - using frequencies and audiograms collected from a hard of hearing individual. This simulation aims to open audio spaces and allow sonic insight and experience into what is often difficult to understand from a purely imaginative stand, an impaired hearing space.
