Artist statement: ”A number of life-support machines are connected to each other, circulating liquids and air in attempt to mimic a biological structure. The Immortal investigates human dependence on electronics, the desire to make machines replicate organisms and our perception of anatomy as reflected by biomedical engineering. (...) The work continues our investigations into the idea of the patient as a cyborg, questioning the relationship between medicine and techno- fantasies about mechanical bodies, hyper abilities and posthumanism. (...) The Immortal is occupied with the compelling and discomforting nature of these objects, the products of our attempts to conquer biology with engineering. The absence of the body only underlines that the machines filling the room are inherently biological.”
