About A Heifer Would Be Needed For The Sacrifice
A TRAMWAY COMMISSION/PREMIERE:
PICATRIX-AI (UK)
A speculative, biohacked performance of multispecies IVF. In this work, Picatrix-AI recalls the veiled spectacle of contemporary xenotransplantation, as it ellipses the longstanding, racialising and imperialist histories of medical experimentation and enslaved gestational labour. Through a reframing of mythological genealogy and embodiment of the Chimera-as-scientist, this performance of biohacked multispecies IVF presents the ethical predicaments within the socio-technological drive towards a hierarchical and designed auto-gestation of the human species. The performance responds to Zakiyyah Iman Jackson’s interventions that demonstrate the categories of “race” and “species” as mutually reinforcing terms in ‘Becoming Human: Matter and Meaning in an Antiblack World’.
