Description

SOMA is the project of the speculative audio-visual-bio-mimetic platform agency, GOVERNANCE INC, that uses custom electronic tools, signals, digital DNA, speculative philosophy, and genome sequencing to create hybrid soma-cyborganisms. Anabolic performance machines sequence genomes in order to propose more robust possible cell structures for digital organic life moving forward. SOMA mines ImageNet, a large-scale image database used for machine learning processes, to find its genomic origin and biosynthetic emergent forms. These cyborg cells all present different windows onto an unfolding future.
