Danielle Siembieda: Hybrid Futures
Danielle Siembieda employs emerging technologies as a new media artist to explore the sublime entanglement of humankind, nature, and technology, as revealed specifically by the climate crisis and recent radical innovations in science. Her work is a form of cyborg-eco-feminist, science-fiction, rooted in real discoveries, that works to articulate new hybrid forms of living and being at these liminal borders. It is interdisciplinary and collaborative, an engaged form of social practice, which draws upon diverse voices and expertise while making direct, practical contributions to civic life.
Her Refuge in Refuse: Homesteading in Art and Culture Project, included in this show, is a multi-disciplinary archive, which combines augmented reality, sound, sculpture, video, photography, and 3D imagery - along with the tools of urban planning - to document an historical community of people, who homesteaded for decades on a decommissioned shoreline dump in Albany, CA. The work speaks to the plight of displaced people, the collaborative invention in their resilience under marginalized conditions, and the model they provide for living at the boundary between nature and society in a state of crisis.
