Margherita Pevere
On Hybridity
margheritapevere.com
What role does hybridity play in art practices that mediate biological and technological materials? What can hybridity tell us about relationships, disruption, violence, and regeneration? What are its implications at an aesthetic, relational, and political level?

University / Biofilia Laboratory in Helsinki. Her artistic practice
features a unique combination of of both human and non-human matter:she grows bacterial cultures, manipulates paper and photographic film, collects organic relics, captures ephemeral lights with digital video and plans to store a digitized collection of memories on bacterial genome. She is member of the Finnish Bioart Society and collaborates
with Berlin DIYbio group BioTinkering e.V.. Most recent exhibitions
include the Article Biennial – i/o lab, Stavanger (NO), curated by
Hege Tapio and Nora Vaage; the Dutch Design Week – BioArt
