"Things are different today," I hear every mother say Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day Doctor please, some more of these Outside the door, she took four more What a drag it is getting old Mother’s Little Helper, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, 1965

26. The danger here is to confuse creation with control. Just because we can create and manipulate things does not necessarily mean that we can control our creations. I am particularly fascinated by the unexpected consequences, the stuff we don’t want but must somehow accommodate. There is no question as to whether there will be undesired outcomes; my interest is in whether we will be able to love them. In Another Life catalogue, Wellington City Gallery, Wellington, NZ by Patricia Piccinini (2006) Artist’s Statement

27. “ Per la salamandra, dopo una ferita, come per esempio la mutilazione di un arto, c’è una rigenerazione che comporta la ricrescita di una struttura e il recupero di una funzione, con la possibilità costante di una gemellazione o di altre strane produzioni topografiche al posto della mutilazione. L’arto ricresciuto può essere mostruoso, doppio, potente. Siamo tutti feriti, in profondità. Abbiamo bisogno di rigenerazione, non di rinascita” D. Haraway

28. With an image, we ask: Does X go anywhere? Does it flourish, reproduce itself, thrive and circulate? the question of value is transformed into a question of vitality. We can ask if a picture is a good or bad specimen, but with an image, the question is: Is it alive? The criterion of value for images is liveliness [not lifelikeness] perhaps the most interesting consequence of seeing images as living things is that the question of their value (understood as vitality) is played out in a social context. Excerpts from J. W. T. Mitchell, The Surplus value of Images

29. “ The Surrogate is nothing if not the mutter/matter of gestation out of place, a necessary if not sufficient cut into the female-defining function called reproduction. To be out of place is often to be in danger and sometimes also to be free, in the open, not yet nailed by value and purpose, but full of pastpresents. The point for me in Piccinini's Nature's Little Helpers is parenting , not reproducing . Parenting is about caring for generations, one's own or not; reproducing is about making more of oneself to populate the future, quite a different matter.” D. Haraway Piccinini, Undivided (Nature Little Helpers series), 2004

53. I am transreal, between realities, moving through layers of the symbolic, the imaginary and the real, simultaneously quivering, swapping out and swapping back in, too fast to find the border between them. I am existing between my fantasies and desires, which are driving the changing form of my body, and the moment of perception in which you see me and call me maam, sir, dude, miss, or avoid choosing a category.

Si tratta di una rete trasversale della coscienza, una trans-coscienza che avviene in un registro che permette che le stesse reti […] siano appropriate come arma ideologica”

60. What is a Refugia ? subRosa

61. A Becoming Autonomous Zone (BAZ) of desirous mixings and recombinations; splicing female sexual liberation and autonomy with cyberfeminist skills, theory, embodiment, and political activism. A critical space of liberated social becoming and intellectual life; a space liberated from capitalist Taylorized production; a space of unregulated, unmanaged time for creative exchange and play; experimental action and learning; desiring production, cooking, eating, and skill sharing. Neither a utopia nor a dystopia, but a haunted space for reverse engineering, monstrous graftings, spontaneous generation, recombination, difference, poly-versity hybridization, wildlings, mutations, mongrelizing, crop circles, anomalies, useless beauty, coalitions, agit-crops, and unseemly sproutings. Biotech and transgenic work in Refugia will be based on desire, consensual public risk assessment, informed amateur experimentation, contestational politics, nourishment and taste value, non-proprietary expertise, convivial delight, and healing.
