ARA DOLATIAN
Dolatian’s interdisciplinary practice explores the relationship between cultural landscapes and the natural ecosystem. A hybrid ecosystem simultaneously resembles a semi-functional apparatus, the model of a utopian city, and a biological experiment. It also conflates a number of ideas around the themes of the studio and the laboratory and in turn social and environmental politics.
The work function as a visual interpretation of socio-cultural and technological developments, the work aims to anticipate future topics while using the dichotomy of humanities and science. Art and science have been engaged in an exchange of ideas and narrative structures. The body of work is an abstract visualization linking the human and the nonhuman and addressing the incipient intersection of nature, biology and technology.
