Installation with devices and videos (2016-2019)
These toolkits invite their users to carry out scientific experiments on a DIY level and be able to introduce their simplified, accessible versions to a broader community. The prerogative is to render and outline methods for independent research, opening the black box of empirical experiments to individuals across disciplines. Whether framing the discussion of political, economical, or cultural issues, the toolkits question the creativity of non-humans and do not presume humans to be the only creative force at work.
