(SCIENCE)
Continuing to research the mutually transformable through performance, text and image making, I am interested to look into, observe and register the notion of the alien, the viral and the infectious as affective, bodily and technological phenomena. In addition to exploring weird fiction as a template for embodied experience, I am curious how the literary character of ‘the scientist’ could work as a score, rather than a script. — Out of nowhere comes a bundle of text, a piece of language. Ominous and threatening, this alien enters (through the ear? or is it the eyes?) and soon it is no longer possible to voice to mouth to speak without housing this intruder.
Marko Gutić Mižimakov (1992) is a visual, performance and text based artist living between Brussels and Zagreb. They are interested in shaping sensory materials through intimate, collaborative and social processes. In their work bodies, as well as digital and palpable objects, are animated, choreographed and sung into non-orientable forms via different media and processes of translation. Often borrowing from queer science fiction they see their work as a speculative technology of mutual transformation. In 2022-23 They were an artistic researcher at A.PASS – Brussels. Currently they are an adjunct faculty member at Paris College of Art in the department of Transdisciplinary New Media.
