Void_birth_dawn_form_advance_corrupt_decay_collapse_ rebirth. The unavoidable cycle embedded into every aspect of existence. Everything that emerges eventually dissolves. But what if life did not begin here, but arrived as a foreign seed flung across the black gulfs of space? What if, somewhere far away, life has evolved into a true biohybrid state, organic and synthetic fused into a new entity, a new system? A system that challenges the cycle of life and pursues immortality.

Exogenesis is a series that explores the origin of life on distant planets and biohybrid systems, and what these could look like. I find comfort in using interfaces and scanning like devices to visualize possible alien discoveries made by future societies, as in some way this relates to how I interact with the world around me as a neurodivergent: constantly scanning, observing, decoding to make sense of the world, a world that in some way often still feels rather foreign to me.
