CREATION Odete and Mary Maggic
SUPPORT FUNDAÇÃO GDA
This is a performative work that is enunciated in parts. Which configures itself, a priori, divided and in flight. Trying to tell a story of a community that has adapted to molecular changes in its drinking water, it also tries to conceive its network of knowledge, its past and inevitably its future. Not tied to the story that drives it, however, the project wanders between workshop formats, readings, choreographies, books, and debates. The first part is with Mary Maggic and participants in a delu workshop of OPEN SOURCE ESTROGEN. Come only those who need amulets to better fight.
MARY MAGGIC
Mary Maggic (1991), born in Los Angeles, is a non-binary Chinese-American artist who completed a master’s degree at MIT Media Lab (Design Fiction research group) and is now based in Vienna, Austria. Their work spans amateur science, public workshopology, performance, installation, documentary film and speculative fiction.
Since 2015, Maggic’s research has centred on hormone biopolitics and environmental toxicity, and on the way the ethos and methodologies of biohacking can serve to demystify invisible lines of molecular (bio)power. In 2017, Maggic’s Open Source Estrogen project was awarded Honorary Mention at Prix Ars Electronica Hybrid Arts, and in 2019 they completed a ten-month Fulbright residency in Yogyakarta (Indonesia), investigating the role of Javanese mysticism in the plastic pollution crisis. Maggic is a current member of the online network Hackteria: Open Source Biological Art and the laboratory theatre collective Aliens in Green.
