"Particles and Digital Serfs” features a series of multichannel, transmedia works by Itziar Barrio and Janet Biggs that explore the compelling intersections of science, art, labor, and robotics. Known for immersive video installations that merge documentary and cinematic styles to limn the possibilities of non-linear narrative, Barrio and Biggs tell stories that are human, non-human and machine-driven. Collaborative and research-based in nature, their work ranges in perspective from the geological to the neurological, with speculative and mnemonic visions of time and matter evoking the ever-shifting role of technology as collaborator, servant, and master.
