Viscosity Symposium

Viscosity Symposium [deep hot noosphere]

4K Video. 60 mins. Stereo. 2026.
Originally commissioned as part of the installation The Concave Feast (Deep Hot Noosphere) at Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale, Riyadh, 2026.

In an ancient Phrygian site, a singing skin deforms itself into a flute through calculated perforation, while a band of melancholic mutants practice amputations through controlled noise exposure. At what degree of curvature does the ego begin to resemble a prismatic worm? Working around ideas on computational reason, metamorphosis, ancient origins of cybernetics, and synthetic matter, Viscosity Symposium [deep hot noosphere] presents a neurohistorical fiction stationed between machines, skins and embedded thought. Combining the dynamics of artificiality with the slippery ontology of surfaces, it enacts a crowded detour on the collusions between monstrosity and intelligence.
