Facing a world in realignment, surrounded by the high speed, consumption oriented environment in physical and virtual life created a longing for healing, reconnecting and re-kin-ing, love, forgiveness and politics and alternative perspectives on what surrounds us and how we can coexist in this in between.

In "Wetlands of Pharmacology" a group of humanoid alien-avatars retreated to a virtual space inside a computer game engine. A coming together in a caring pile of exchanging thoughts, emotions and dreams, brought together by subconscious writing and tools of the wetlands. A waterbed in the physical space functions as a connector. The pharmacon, defined as both cure and poison, refers here to the technical objects, biological or non-bodily organs and social relations through which we open ourselves to new futures and thereby create the spirit that makes us human.
