“We consciously approach processes capable of transforming bodies or living biological material from an artistic, philosophical and ethical perspectives”

Working with Dissipative Systems, both electromechanical and biochemical, Nathan Thompson is fundamentally interested in the possibilities of man/machine interaction, sentience, agency and the relationships arising from the intimate connections developed when we allow these new techno-objects/entities into our lives. He manipulates life to question and problematise humanity’s position in the contemporary environment.
