New York-based artist Saya Woolfalk will discuss her projects No Place, The Empathics and ChimaTEK. No Place is a fictional future where plant and humans change gender and color, and transform into the landscape when they die. The Empathics are a group of women who physically and culturally metamorphose as they merge identities and cross species. ChimaTEK is an Empathic corporation, designed to sell products that give users access to a Chimeric existence through the creation of personalized virtual avatars. For the past 7 years, Woolfalk has collaborated with an anthropologist to actualize these fictional cultures in museums across the U.S. and around the world.
