Pakui Hardware: Underbelly

In eight growth chambers suspended from the ceiling glass organ prostheses and silicon arteries lie in nutrient solution, suggesting the biological process of growth. PAKUI HARDWARE describe their work as “Hybrids of the artificial and the natural, from that created by humans and that which is already there” and view synthetic biology as an opportunity to devise future scenarios in which people are independent of the organic, ultimately independent even of their own bodies.
