§ [chimera] integrates a crystalline silicon wafer—repurposed as a speculative relic—into a 3D-printed containment structure. Its surface patterns, reminiscent of lattice structures in particle detectors, suggest traces of latent computational or energetic activity, inviting parallels with subatomic interactions or experimental data systems. Surrounding composite materials evoke exoskeletal fragments of unknown organisms or technological devices, highlighting Fyerool’s ongoing introspection into hybrid bodies and unstable taxonomies.
The embedded “specimen log” situates the object within a parafictional archive, blending scientific metadata, recovered coordinates, and system readings. The work mirrors the translation of experimental and particle-collision data into perceptible, artistic forms, framing technological substrates as active participants in the work.
By pairing technical materials—silicon, resin, carbon fiber, and laser-engraved surfaces—with speculative scientific metadata, § [chimera] situates mythic forms, post-digital archaeology, and physical matter within a framework akin to laboratory observation and data visualization. The resulting artefact oscillates between documentation and invention, between a hybrid object and a para-archival artefact, suggesting how invisible forces and complex systems can be apprehended through hybrid material and sensory exploration.
Fabricated with Factory 1405.
