Aquadisia, Stephanie Rothenberg
Aquadisia imagines bioengineered oysters that secrete a potion transforming human desire into new forms of sentient interconnection. Blending myth, biotechnology, and marine science, the project speculates on symbiotic futures while questioning the ethics of using nonhuman life to address ecological crisis.
Stephanie Rothenberg works in both traditional media and digital formats to make visible the inequitable systems and infrastructures of techno utopias. Moving between real and virtual spaces her artworks focus on themes concerning emerging economies and their underlying sociopolitical impact. Earlier projects explored the rise of digital currencies and their effect on global labor. More recently she has been researching the politics of conservation initiatives and sustainability myths around new blue economies such as aquaculture. She is also currently developing a collaborative artwork on the impact of anthropogenic sound as an environmental detriment on marine life. Her artworks engage a variety of platforms that include interactive installation, drawing, sculpture, video, sound and performance.
