Summary

What would it feel like to share the world with machines that could live in the wild and evolve on their own? Anicka Yi offers a vision of a new ecosystem within the Turbine Hall, the large post-industrial space at the heart of Tate Modern. Originally part of Bankside Power Station, the hall was built to house electricity-generating machinery. Yi's installation populates the space with machines once again. Floating in the air, they prompt us to think about new ways machines might inhabit the world. At the start of the project, Yi asked herself what a 'natural history of machines' could look and feel like. She imagined machines evolving to become living creatures. Yi calls these machines aerobes, and based their shapes on ocean life forms and mushrooms. The hairy, bulbous aerobes are planulae. The aerobes with tentacles are xenojellies (xenos is Greek for foreigner or stranger). Combining forms of aquatic and terrestrial life, Yi's aerobes signal new possibilities of hybrid machine species. The aerobes' individual and group behaviours develop over time, influenced by elements in the ecosystem. Like a bee's dance or an ant's scent trail, the aerobes communicate with each other in ways we cannot understand. By merging technology and biology, Yi asks if machines could evolve as independent forms of life. --Tate website.
