Extremo-Files

by Jenna Sutela

This document is part of my ongoing investigation into organizational and biological systems​. I am intrigued by the possibility that decentralist eco-centric technology might take over, reclaiming its pre-human domin​ation.

Taking the form of a fictional scientific white paper, ​Extremo-Files explores the aesthetics of the machine-readable world — particularly​ the​ cell, or particle trackers in microbiology — as well as alien sightings. Both can be seen as methods for reading (or writing) the future or tracing organizational choreographies.
