ABSTRACT
The Protoplasmic routes is an audiovisual BioArt project based in scientific research and fiction. This work metaphorically focuses on the livability of the human race in the twenty-first century from a post-human perspective. Labyrinths are an ancient means of developing and refining human intelligence. Unicursal mazes are tools for focusing the mind through a single path in meditation, while mazes that contain multicursal paths challenge memory and pattern recognition by presenting multiple route choices during navigation. The beauty of impermanence revealed through this act of observation of biological life reminds me that the present moment is inevitable and impermanent. The post-human vision of contemporary human existence throughout my work aims to bring a hopeful, and perhaps even humorous approach to our future coexistence with all forms of life.
