WhiteFeather will present IMARA: Interstitial Machine for Aggregate Reparative Anatomies at the Twenty-First International Conference on The Arts in Society: Modeling Life Systems: Art, Algorithms, Ecologies, at the School of Philosophy, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece, June 10-12, 2026.

Part of the New Media, Technology and the Arts theme track, Hunter’s presentation—“Modeling Adaptive Life Systems through DIY Biofabrication and Feminist Worldbuilding”—introduces IMARA as both a speculative bioprinter and a technofeminist methodology. Designed in response to the fictional-yet-plausible condition of “cryodamage” (in which organs atrophy during extended cryogenic suspension), IMARA fabricates anatomically adaptive, multi-speciated tissues that imagine alternate modes of survival and care. Blending DIY biofabrication with critical worldbuilding, Hunter’s work reimagines biotechnology through relational, resilient, and ecologically entangled futures.
