Department of Biological Flow

The Department of Biological Flow is a project of research-creation by Sean Smith and Barbara Fornssler. We explore a concept of the moving human body as it is integrated into broader information networks of signal and noise.

Though an homage to George Lucas’ vision in the epic 1971 movie, THX 1138, our consideration of biological flow seeks to develop processes that reinvigorate subject agency in negotiations with economic and political structures both material and immaterial.

We attempt to develop processes to a state at which they have just ceased to be fragile enough for one's imagination to take over and build upon their frameworks.
