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.

THE DEPARTMENT OF SPECULATIVE BIOSECURITY AND BIOSURVEILLANCE




2021-2022

The Department of Speculative Biosecurity and Biosurveillance invites you to consult on the decision-making concerning our global and national futures.

Our notions of borders, biosecurity, and biosurveillance may be forever changed by the impact of COVID-19.

Many countries around the world are having their healthcare and economic infrastructures pushed to their absolute limits. The Department of Speculative Biosecurity and Biosurveillance has emerged as a tool to imagine what these potential visions of our future may be like and start a dialogue about which ones we should begin to work towards.

As a performance, The Department of Speculative Biosecurity and Biosurveillance invites participants to take part in its fictional department procedures. Participants are embedded in the bureaucratic decision-making, problem-solving, and speculation about future scenarios that society may face in light of emerging biothreats and biohazards.

Topics of the performance include but are not limited to: the presence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), viruses, gene editing technologies, disease, microorganisms, and more.

The Department of Speculative Biosecurity and Biosurveillance has been feautured and performed at the  Ural Biennial in Yekaterinburg, Russia, Art.ITMO Residency Gallery in St. Petersburg, Russia, and at Mall Anders with the Support of UniSysCat Cluster of Excellence in Berlin, DE.
