A BODY IN THE FORM OF A PLANET

 

Stars unknowable as the mites in the dirt. The breath I breathe inhaled by the Earth around me. Macro/micro dichotomies – between cosmic incomprehensibility and subatomic weirdness – meld into a single river. “The science of one age eventually becomes the mythology of the next.” As above, so below.

 

CODE 03 : A Body in the Form of a Planet examines – over more than 300 pages and in a dizzying ascent of scientific, artistic and philosophical voices – the tension in distinguishing between what is currently understood and what is as yet unknown. Amidst an array of fashion editorials, think-pieces, poetry, philosophy, science, astrological history and high-concept performance art, contributors such as: Arca; Dorion Sagan; Dr. Sarah Pearson; Female Pentimento; Jenna Sutela; Cru Encarnação; Hendrik Schneider; Dylan Van Roost; Max Lange; Samuel Guerrero; Bridget Hamel; the Amazonian Kichwa of Sarayaku; and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory individually and collectively interrogate where the lines between shadow and light, cosmic and microscopic, magic and science blur.
