While the rest of you sheeple take solace in your SubStacks, I have subscribed to an email list this week, where I can take part from afar in Shu Lea Cheang’s “feral lab” at C-Lab Taiwan, Lab Kill Lab. Emails filter into my inbox from this post-pandemic society where online and in-person talks, workshops, and film screenings are organized around research themes that combine the technological and the biological. (If you’re interested, you can subscribe here.)
In signature Shu Lea fashion, the project brings together an interdisciplinary community and asks them to take part in imagining and prototyping radical visions of the future. The Lab, as Shu Lea puts it, creates “inter-spaces that defy binary codes while traversing between inside and outside, human and non-human, nature and un-nature, above and underground.”
