Membrana Semipermeável: Queer Subjectivity, Computing, and the HIV/AIDS Crisis.
In his recent creative research, Marcos Serafim explores the intersections between queer subjectivities and the impacts of computing, digital networks, and the media legacy of the HIV/AIDS crisis on the formation of dissident political identities. In this poetic-philosophical investigation, Serafim explores post-truth dynamics through the virus and the viral, death and sexuality, revealing how technological systems and media narratives inform political potentials. His recent works “Autoimune” and “Membrana Semipermeável” question the permeability of boundaries between identity, memory, and the effects of corporate computational structures. Utilizing AI for video generation, he creates critical tensions between body and code, desire and survival, penetrating and penetrated.
