GET THE FREEZE HABIT by Pakui Hardware, 2016

Silicone, ice, ice cream freezer, Hawaiian spirulina, Curonian lagoon algae, LED light, 130x94x65 cm (Ice objects size variable)

Get the Freeze Habit melts the boundaries between the artificial and the given, and between human creations and natural formations. To be more precise, it is not so much melting as generally inquiring into the reality of that balance. This query about fundamental categories was accompanied by another equally important aspect – the penetration of capital into the deepest layers of the environment, even deeper than Anthropocene outlines. The new direction of biology is trying to programme nature for more accurate productivity, leaving no space for coincidence. Kenzo Lilly ™, Comme des Garçons Pine ™. While researching ideas of new synthetic biology and Prometheanism, Pakui Hardware created synthetic bodies and froze them in ice as if they were meant for future archaeologists. Get the Freeze Habit will exist very briefly, only during the period of the exhibition, until it becomes a puddle of water with unrecognizable, synthetic objects lying in the middle.
