Are Friends Piezoelectric?
In a sticky and speculative quest for intimately human-scale energy imaginaries, this leak of recent and ongoing research performed by Miranda, Urs and friends, explores diverse energetic materials which can relate to bodies, tenderness and care as opposed to extraction and exploitation. Made specifically for REFRESH #5, this installation is a display of their collective practice of kitsch kitchen bioelectrochemistry, which seeks to agitate knowledge hierarchies and shift the hegemonic techno-scientific discourse around energy.
