Darrin Martin in Recoding CripTech at SOMArts
Professor Darrin Martin is participating in the group show “Recoding CripTech” at SOMArts in San Francisco. This show will be on display from January 24 to February 25, 2020.
Curated by Vanessa Chang and Lindsey D. Felt, “Recoding CripTech” reimagines enshrined notions of what a body can be or do through creative technologies, and how it can move, look, or communicate. As the term “crip” reclaims the word for disability culture and recognizes disability as a cultural and political identity, so too do artists hack technologies to dismantle barriers to access. By creating new kinds of social and sensory interactions with technology, these artists portend a crip aesthetic for media arts that honors the diversity of human bodies.

In this show, Martin formulates a crip eco-consciousness that situates prosthetic technologies in natural environments and landscapes.
