Microbiopolitics, Resistance, and Bi0film.net are three ongoing projects that were initiated in 2020. The objective was to shift the perspective of human-microorganism relationship.

Microbiopolitics is a map that visualizes the habitats within the human body, demonstrating our ambition for internal control and regulation. The project comprises an interactive hand-drawn map with 44 habitats, showcasing the population and diversity of bacteria. While researching the current scientific progress on microbes, which is not yet concrete, I was fascinated by the technological similarities between bacteria and humans.

I related individuals to bacteria and explored the concepts of modern governmentality and civil resistance. Natalia Rivera and I collaborated on Resistance and Bi0film.net projects. In the Resistance project, we experimented with the resistance of antibiotics and correlated them to different social movements. As there were safety concerns, we decided to present the experiment through simulation.

In the third project, Bi0film.net, we proposed an alternative autonomous network inspired by bacteria communication. Bi0film.net is an open project based on open-source and DIY materials, co-created with local communities from Bogota, Berlin, and Taipei. We've exchanged knowledge and experience of different forms of resistance with others through community meetups and workshops. These projects have been ongoing for at least three years and developed spontaneously with many collaborations and iterations. I've had great opportunities to showcase these projects in different stages, from prototypes to nearly finished versions, always open to different thoughts and perspectives, and looking forward to continuing these projects in the future.
