WhiteFeather will join Bruixes Lab this coming March 13 for a live performance ritual at Grace Exhibition Space for International Performance Art in New York City.

HEXY LAB: Lascivious Bioart Ritual
Dr. WhiteFeather Hunter × Bruixes Lab

HEXY LAB is a collaborative performance that transforms laboratory practices into erotic hauntology, creating a ritual space where feminist bioart, witchcraft, and speculative biotechnology converge. WhiteFeather Hunter and Bruixes Lab summon an “other/worldly lab” in which bioscience becomes spell, glassware becomes scrying apparatus, and lab processes are performed as collective care. Through live bioart gestures, layered sound, projected moving images, and Pepper’s Ghost illusion techniques, the performance creates apparitional presences such as flickering figures, floating organs, and cellular moonscapes to evoke bodies beyond reproductive duty and futures freed from optimization and purity. The work engages themes of reproductive autonomy, non-normative embodiment, and anti-perfectionist futures. HEXY LAB frames biotech experimentation as a space for uncertainty, relational ethics, and ritual encounter where the audience enters as witnesses to a séance for alternative, pleasure-centric sci-tech futures.

The event is co-sponsored by Grace Exhibition Space for International Performance Art and the BEAK Bioarts Ethical Advisory Komission. BEAK Bioarts Ethical Advisory Komission was established to provide artistic oversight and ethical assessment for bioart applications. We provide professional bioartist aesthetics consulting, bioart historian expert opinions, and science technology studies styled critical bioethics analysis that reviews the Legal, Ethical, Societal and Libidinal implications (LESLi) of novel Life Science applications as bioart. This includes research and development as well as issues in installation, exhibition and humane sacrifice. Assessments are made on a product, process and project basis through artistic risk versus artistic benefit analysis. BEAK is exploring the role of aesthetic breadth through Bioart, bioart history, and science technology wet life science creative cultural criticism. Covering biosafety, recombinant safety, animal and other non-human or semi-human care and use as well as housing and enrichment for bioart projects.

Co-Laboratories: mutual learning and knowledge exchange with shared fascination with biology, from ecological science to synthetic biology merging with digital technologies. Linking the Global Hackteria Network & SGMK (Swiss Mechatronic Art Society) with tomorrow.Lab in Thailand and a network of partners in Southeast Asia and India, “Technobiological Futures” emphasizes DIWO participation and experimentation across diverse perspectives through networks of people across disciplines. Co-Laboratories opens a liminal space to question how ecosystems, bodies, and machines evolve together, and how these shifts ripple into politics, culture, and ethics. Participants co‑develop low‑cost instruments, bio‑sensing device art, performances and media works; publish open‑access documentation and hold public hands-on workshops.
