His latest publication is an artist book called Not-human, Not-fly, which looks at the concept of the posthuman and its relevance to the Anthropocene discussion through an interdisciplinary approach that includes a written essay, drawings, pixel art, and a “molecular narrative” told in DNA sequence constructs that imagines the hybrid genome of the mutant creature in David Cronenberg’s The Fly.
