Photosynthetic

Devin Wilson
2025

Photosynthetic extends the world of IN-TECHS by exploring alternatives to fossil fuels, using these specimens as potential repositories for renewable energy. Excavated from the earth, a fossilized ginkgo leaf undergoes paleontological analysis, positioned as both artifact and prototype.

Through an augmented reality reconstruction of the species, the structure resembles a monopine, an anthropogenic beast of camouflage engineered to conceal technological infrastructure within natural surroundings. The work suggests a speculative ecology where biological processes are hybridized with solar technologies to generate new forms of power.

Photosynthetic was part of FIRST HOUR: Experiments On Common Ground curated by Marcela Vieira in David Horvitz 7th Ave Garden in Los Angeles, September 2025.

Vision Service: May I Offer You A Way Of Seeing?

Ina Chen
2025

Vision Service is a mobile sculpture and quiet performance. It proposes seeing as a shared ritual rather than a private habit.
Guests borrow a lens, lift it to bark or rubble or wing or sky, enlarge a small scene, then return it.

The instruments are ceremonial rather than technical: polished and a little impractical, built to slow the hand. Here the space is served - for a brief moment we borrow the details in the world. In that act attention becomes hospitality.

SUR)veil—(SOUS)veil, Series II

Sadia Quddus
2025

To hide in a culture that values hyper-visibility is to deny one’s existence, but in this negation of self, there is freedom from the panopticon. “(SUR)veil—(SOUS)veil, Series II” features three veils printed with images drawn from a generative model trained on filmed landscapes of California Deserts, and color palettes of the artist’s design.

HEARSAY
Whisper
2025

can we hear me?

can you hear you?

yesterday makes a year since i stopped keeping a computer in my house

i had to take the computer out of the home to start thinking seriously about how to make a computer feel more like home

have been spending a lot of time lately sweeping out the ashes from 15 years of computing

files carried from machine to machine, the detritus that accumulates in a lived-in computer. nested folders of fugitive backups.

when you try to leave the corpo cloud, you can sense how deep and desperate the tendrils of control dig into this intimate device, this machine that should feel sovereign.

i would rather have ashes spread through hard drives i can hold in my hand than the illusion of safety in someone else’s computer

anyway, years ago I made a render of ‘his and hers computers’ — a speculative tether between Theseus, my dead husband’s computer, and a machine from the past future or the future past. An original Macintosh, with the stickers from my present day laptop on the side, and a glowing portal screen with my former avatar flitting around it.

this converged the ‘never to return’ of a molted identity and the ‘not yet’ of some other utopia — a place where the world (and the computer) felt like home.

i knew then as i know now, utopia is not a place so much as a direction

yesterday at the garden I’ll share an installation of Hearsay, as a temporal mirror of that gesture — a play at history as a garbled game of interdimensional telephone

for the first time Theseus will show in public after many years of making work with and about the machine, and the files inside

slouching ever deeper toward the singularity which has of course already happened for those who know

Matter in Motion: An Open Score
Arrousiak Gabrielian
2025

David Horovitz’s 7th Ave Garden is not a designed tableau but a living conglomerate of flows. Rubble from the demolition of LACMA; Shells discarded from restaurants; Sand carried from eroded shores; Cuttings from a grandmother’s plumeria. Each element arrives from elsewhere, is displaced, carried, accumulated, dispersed. The garden is a commons of matter in motion, its ecology inseparable from histories of extraction, consumption, memory, and care.

This open score invites participants to enter those flows — not as observers, but as co-actors. Three simple actions, each governed by rules of clustering and dispersal, reconfigure the site. They echo the logics already at work here: rubble rearranged by hand, soil shifted by water, shells scattered and gathered, sound carried by wind and birdcall.

Earthwork (Ground): cut and fill, excavation and return.
Cairnwork (Matter): stacking and collapse, ruin and proto-structure.
Choruswork (Air): resonance and silence, flocking and dispersal.

Together, these scores form an ecosystem of gestures across ground, matter, and air. They generate topographies that are never final — voids, mounds, grids, columns, choirs — always forming and unforming.

The work does not aim at permanence. It embraces the temporality of gardens, their perpetual becoming. What remains is a residue of collective labor, sound, and touch — a choreography of human and more-than-human forces in continual exchange.

Let your eyes adjust to the new colors,
it just takes some time

The mammalian dive reflex is a series of automatic processes in the body of many mammals, including humans, that prepare to survive prolonged submersion in cold water. When the face touches cold water, the heat rate slows, the outer blood vessels constrict, and the spleen releases red blood cells. This piece uses ceramics, and animation, to explore the physiology of the mammalian dive reflex and the affective experience of swimming.
