Finis-terra is art-led inquiry into the subjection of terrestrial sense data and movements to mathematical formulae, which investigates the complex ecological, political and economic impacts of satellite pattern recognition software.

_Whitepaper playfully hijacks the use and format of the white paper to examine its affordances with regards to the ideology of financial self-determination.

Carbon Derivatives explore the collision between the forest as a storage resource of carbon, the boreal forest's disappearance and emission trading systems (ETS). USNEA lichen in East Fennoscandia is a disappearing species that problematises the management of industrial forestry in Finland. While the efficiency of industrial forests is heralded by such bodies as Metsähallitus, validating the move to increase production and cutting down of trees, some incalculable elements have escaped the equation. The Usnea lichen, more widely known as beard moss, grows on the bark of trees in old growth forests, providing food for reindeer in winter. The post World War massive clear cutting in the north and subsequent forestry is a scarification leaving Finland with approximately 5% of its old growth forest. Calculations have deemed industrial forests more efficient in terms of carbon sequestration, and consequently enriches Finnish economy with carbon credits. In addition, forestry growth provides jobs and fuels many byproduct economies. How are forests calculated? Which forms of knowledge are privileged in this discussion? What is deemed an acceptable compromise/sacrifice? How does one begin to discuss the simultaneous cultural livelihood and destruction of a nation?

This project is an art-led enquiry that is taking shape in food-led events and performative installations.

Shrimping under working conditions is an inquiry into what mutated forms of death are emerging with neoliberalism's financialisation of life, which took shape in a series of fishing workshops and lecture performances. When we are confronted with capital's failure to fulfil resource exhaustion, a model of conservation by dispossession might emerge. Thus, we argue for opening such discussions beyond a biological or geological frame into equally violent forces that are nevertheless materially situated, such as finance, computation or planning. In order to address some of these newer and subtler degrees of death and extinction we dissect the critical territory of the brown shrimp (Crangon crangon) as it flips between commercial (albeit not yet biotic) death in the ex-fishing grounds of the South End (UK), and the social death embedded in (in)human labour-power of the ex-processing factories of the Special Economic Zones of Tangier and Tetouan in Morocco.

Dreaming in tongues/舌頭/langues/ةنسلأب /tunger is a tasting performance collaboration between Fran Gallardo (artist), Nathalie Bonnot (pastry chef), and Audrey Samson, that explores the link between memory and digestion (through taste). At the height of the EU migrant crisis, special Syrian, Hong Kong, and Danish Madeleines were designed in order to expose the geopolitical issues related to ingredients from so called ‘invasive’ species. The performance reflects on the borders which are currently being reified in Europe. The project was commissioned and presented at Kunsthal Aarhus in Denmark.

Let them eat cake! is an edible counter-imaginary of your Facebook profile. In early 2012, Facebook conducted massive scale emotional contagion by manipulating the emotional expressions in the News Feeds of 689,003 users. This exemplifies how the governability and the biopolitics of everyday life flow through the many layers of shared images, liked videos, protocols, and hyperlinks, all orchestrated by the Facebook News Feed algorithm. The cake is made with synthetic DNA encoded from a user’s Facebook profile data. The profile's data categories (Ad Topics, Facial Recognition Data, Friends, Followers, Likes, and Political Views) are transposed into cake layers, with an absurd twist that reflects the algorithms agency.

Goodnight Sweetheart is a data and device embalming service. As data fornicates, replicating at quantum speeds, multiplying our traces, sold to the highest bidder or even leaked for free, this project proposes a digital data funeral, an attempt to escape 'datafication' in the form of a ritual of deletion. This ongoing research into rituals of data erasure has taken shape in installations and participatory events in which visitors are invited to cast their data in resin, irretrievably crystallising their memories in a relic for them to take home.
