Synopsis

Bionic Communality demonstrates floral, faunal and mineral consciousness as a cacophonous intensity of collaboratively acting through living histories and emergent meaning. Through textual interconnection, i>Bionic Communality engages language as both relational and positional. Taking cues from motile and audiovisual sensation in Iijima's hometown, submerged social facts are laid bare: femicide, ecocide, genocide. i>Bionic Communality works the intimacies of civic participation. Liberational struggles find power in coalition. Dying is addressed as well as living. i>Bionic Communality is a vibrant catalyst for personal, social and habitat transformation.
