Life Support is a performative sculpture of an engineered life form that respires, through an electronically induced breathing system. It evokes a sense of aliveness yet sterility - echoing the contemporary, scientific views where Living things are machines. Treated as such, pedagogy becomes medical technology amidst a time where people are strapped to a network of devices and contraptions, as advances continue pave reductionist, machine-centric views on biology.
