Presence Interference explores the relationship between the human body and temporal ecologies by making invisible elements of ephemeral materiality visible. All living beings are interconnected and communicate within vast, integrative networks of biological and ecological systems. A dialogue emerges between the past and present by recontextualizing work by Buckminster Fuller, Roy Ascott, with biophoton theory, and Kirlian photography. Combining concepts through research and aesthetics encoded by personal experience, Presence Interference incites a new awareness of synergetic transference through time and space. This work visualizes an interaction between the human body as a conscious, electronic transceiver in an energetic network of communication, creating a biotic feedback loop within an environment.
