Focus by zooming in and out.

Over the course of the research the lab will research connotations of production (modi operandi) by a synthesis of actions, choreographies, sculptures, prototypes and installations. The Lab will pervert the streamlined
techniques of traditional medical devices, which are determined by functionality and profit. The logics of efficiency will be scrambled in favor of excess and pleasure.  The research of the body as a static 'object' is extended nto a body in flux of cellules, energy and desire.

MicroMacropleasures enters directly into the philosophy of biopower, by making our bodies  the most desirable technology and by using scientific processes  as a testing ground.
By activating the body's extrasensory perceptions, the lab reconnects our ability to enable microorganisms in the macro universal organism that we together inhabit. 
 
We will question (once again) what medical and cultural institutions (have refused) banished/expatriated from the comons of knowledge. 
In exploring these intra-related questions the proto matter/experience, created by multiples experiments/activities will expose the body  as a diffracted entangelement, an agency which becomes what would later be defined  as a non identities or diffracted entities. 

Lab Sessions will culminate in a performative presentation in which visitors can try on and wear the prototypes and samples.   
The open lab becomes a proposition: the mediator of boundaries and comfort (?) as it binds the viewer’s body to the work.   

the performance of knowledge   
As a karen Barad defines :   
  
Barad propose that true knowledge has an experiential performative   aspect--what I am calling “the performance of knowledge.” Instead of  representing an independent world, this perfomative aspect encompasses   the relations and exchanges (i.e., information, communication,   intelligence) between bodies, objects, environments: an ongoing   embodiment that emerges from our various capacities. Performing   knowledge is an enactment of a world that is inseparable from the   performing body. This performance restructures our very selfexperience  changing our body, our chemistry, our muscles, the patterns of our  neural connections—just as this performance changes the world through our participation in it. Thus, knowledge is more than something that you have, it’s something that you do – the performance of knowledge.
