Antimaterial is an interactive installation that explores abiogenesis and kinesis to articulate a relationship between the human and nonhuman world. Just as we are able to affect our surroundings, the ability of magnetic materials to move matter indicated the presence of life to pre-Socratic philosophers. The rocks beneath our feet were not only the essential catalysts for life, but that microbial life helped give birth to minerals we know and depend on today. In Antimaterial, these concepts are explored as primitive life emerges within the topography of the material in response to human proximity, demonstrating a connection between animate and inanimate matter.
