Chapter 2 - Embodying Earth: While Chapter 1 looks inwards, and reflects on the body and the self as an assemblage composed of trillions of intelligent, living beings; Chapter 2 ventures outwards, beyond the skin, extending the body into the living environment, contemplating the whole planet as a living organism, brought into being through the intricate interplay between trillions of interdependent living organisms, of which we are part. Delving into the rich symbiotic webs of our living planet, 'Embodying Earth' journeys beneath the surface, where life metabolizes rock into soil. And then stands up into forests, rivers into the sky, before falling back to the earth as rain, into the ocean, into reefs, deserts, and back into the air, and back into the earth. The chapter weaves together the dynamic exchange between land, water, and sky, highlighting the transformative dance between geological and biological forces, as life both emerges from and reshapes the planet, and how ancient life continues to nourish the present, just as we will nourish the future.

_________________________
Superradiance is a multiscreen video and sound installation, film and performance by Memo Akten and Katie Peyton Hofstadter that invites the viewer to extend their bodily perception beyond the skin and into the living environment.
The work combines poetry, dance, and insights from neuroscience, woven together with code, simulations, and generative AI to evoke a visceral, intimate connection to the living planet.
It's one thing to intellectually know that we are deeply entangled within complex assemblages of life, interdependent physically, chemically, and biologically, across multiple scales of time and space. But how can we feel this connection in our own bodies?
Dance is one of our earliest biotechnologies. We dance to express ourselves, to connect to each other. Through ritual and ecstatic dance, we dance to experience union with the universe directly.
Superradiance draws upon the cognitive phenomenon of ‘embodied simulation,’ where, as you observe another person moving, you feel their movement in your own body. As Vittorio Gallese writes, "By means of a shared neural state realized in two different bodies ... the 'objectual other' becomes 'another self.’”
They leverage this phenomenon in an immersive, ritual sanctuary, where invisible dancers embedded in animate environments transform forests, oceans, and deserts into extensions of our own bodies. And where technological mediation becomes a means of exploring embodied consciousness rather than escaping it.
Embracing a superposition of epistemologies and holding space for complexity, the artists want to challenge the boundaries of self, biology, geology, and technology – contemplating the whole planet as a living cyber-organism which exists across space and time.

Medaglia d'Oro (foaled April 11, 1999) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse who won several major stakes races including the 2002 Travers Stakes and the 2003 Whitney Handicap. He also finished second in the 2002 Belmont Stakes, the Breeders' Cup Classic in both 2002 and 2003, and the 2004 Dubai World Cup. Since retiring to stud, he has become an excellent stallion whose progeny include 2009 Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra, two-time champion filly Songbird and two-time Hong Kong Horse of the Year Golden Sixty.
This piece is part of "(after) Whistlejacket" - Contemporary Equine Photographs exhibition at MMX Gallery by John Reardon.
The show explores an artistic way of photographing horses.
"Racehorses, and the people in their realm, turned out to be his ideal subjects. Reardon’s eye found the elegance, power, and plaintive vulnerability of whatever settled before his camera, and the thoroughbred...

Giclee Print on Hahnemuhle Pearl Fine Art Paper
Print Size: 37x 30cm , Framed: 44 x 37 cm
Edition of 7 + 2 AP, Currently available of the edition: 5-7
The series ‘In Between the Shadows’ consists of structural and geometric photographs that take their inspiration from the cubist movement.
The works aim to challenge the conventional perception of depth within the medium of photography by showing different viewpoints at the same time and within the same space. The chiaroscuro lighting embraces shadows and light as juxta- positional tools to deconstruct familiar objects and transform them into surreal compositions.
