Lyndsey Walsh is an American artist, writer, and researcher based in Berlin, DE. Lyndsey has a Bachelor’s in Individualized Studies from New York University and a Master’s in Biological Arts with Distinction from SymbioticA Centre of Excellence in Biological Arts at the University of Western Australia. Lyndsey is enthralled by the ruptures in the corporeality of culture caused by technology. They are also fixated on the creatures that are born from these ruptures, as they embody both collective cultural fears and technologically mediated desires.

Lyndsey’s practice employs queer and intersectional feminist frameworks to question the tensions that can exist surrounding these creatures whose very existence resists cultural and anthropocentric binaries of human-non-human, diseased-healthy, and life-machine. Currently, Lyndsey is a visiting scholar and researcher with the Department of Experimental Biophysics at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, and they guest lecture at various institutions and universities. Their work has been exhibited globally and featured in art events and with institutions such as Frieze Art Week New York, the Humboldt Forum, the Ural Biennial, the Berlin Biennale, Transmediale/CTM, and more.

HEADS WILL ROLL
DOC 234—34/2




2016


Inspired by Rosalind Krauss and Yves Alain Bois’ four performative operations of the Volatile Taxonomy published in their book “Formless: A User’s Guide”, the artist proposed a central thesis that this curatorial critique that could be used artistically to re-write the narratives about taxonomical forms in evolutionary zoology.


Heads Will Roll is a critique of the limitations that have emerged out of the sign-signifier system in taxonomy. Superficially, the images presented in this work are re-animated forms of the once living organisms they had belonged to. However, each animation goes beyond the breaking of a static anatomical image. Heads Will Roll, through its four procedures (Base Materialism, Pulse, Entropy, and Horizontality), works to create a new visual narrative about Cetacean forms that account for its developmental changes, role in the production of sonar, construction of 3-D form, and the forms related to the extremes of its environment.

This work was done in collaboration with Dr. Joy Reidenberg, and the project was mentored by Mitch Joachim. Heads Will Roll was awarded Honors by the Senior Project committee at The Gallatin School of Individualized Studies at New York University in 2016.
