Boyana Voynova – Seed Matters
Boyana Voynova is an information designer and multimedia artist, engaged in community-based and collaborative initiatives. In her practice she works with topics, related to the climate, consumption systems and the way we interact with the surrounding world, translating them into interactive projects using design research methodologies and visual storytelling. Driven by curiosity for social systems, she strives to challenge the way we interact with the space and matter surrounding us through various mediums from graphic design and experimental printing methods to textile and ceramics.
The talk explores seeds as data carriers, and political artifacts, linking nature, technology, ethics and material culture. How much future can fit in the palm of your hand? If a seed is a prototype, what is it optimized for? Who owns generative material systems? When does a material become a monopoly?
