The work Exogenesis got featured in the 13th edition of Rendah Mag.
Rendah Mag is a platform and magazine dedicated to researching creative context within underground and experimental arts.
Through the lens of creative journalism, it explores the life cycle of artists and their projects within an otherwise undocumented space.
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.
This piece, “EXO DSS ULS 9A”, is part of Exogenesis, 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.
