ABSTRACT
This chapter details an interview with artist duo boredomresearch. In this interview with the artist duo boredomresearch, we explore how our increasing confidence in modelling living systems is only matched by our inability to fully understand the consequences of such actions. The excitement of ‘consistency touched by chaos’ can be seen in the coherence which binds diversity. In psychology, the consistency principle describes a strong psychological need to remain consistent with prior acts and statements. Research funding ensures the enduring importance of an intervention-based approach to life, and it remains central to the scientific endeavour. Researchers are expected to deliver world-changing powers for our benefit. All life is subject to this ingenuity. The value of the freshwater pearl mussel has been recognised for centuries, primarily for the beauty of its unique pearls.
