Perturbant Fluids

Activity

Science is a powerful tool capable of building imaginaries and languages, both recognising our interdependencies and transforming our understanding of reality. This workshop aims to involve people in training looks and gestures to explore the microworld of our bodies in a context where the boundaries between protocols and rituals are not clear.
Through an immersive experience in analysing our own tears, we will create a shared repository of images of their crystallisation ("stagograms": from the Greek "stagón", drop and "grámma", picture) and explore different interpretations of their pattern promoting collaborative inquiry practices. The artistic hands-on exploration is part of an ongoing research hacking of the boundaries between what has been labelled for a long time as strictly pure or impure, internal or external to the human body using scientific tools and technologies.
