ATTEMPTS TO SHAPE TOGETHERNESS BLENDED celebrates hybridity, dissolution, and proliferation. It presents a series of objects created using a cast made from a water bottle. The objects resemble non-human bodies holding a mix of organic and inorganic materials, some of them melting away and blurring the border between the human and non-human worlds. The objects, derived from water bottles, are placed back in their “original environment”—a fridge commonly found in convenience stores. Outside the fridge, they continue to multiply. Fed with images of the objects, artificial intelligence generates new, familiar creatures. The mutations are displayed on a video screen and printed on stickers placed on the floor, waiting to be taken and spread around the city. The creatures continue to multiply.
