MACHINES FOR HARDROCK
A cyborg is a cybernetic organism, a hybrid of machine and organism, a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fiction… Liberation rests on the construction of the consciousness, the imaginative apprehension, of oppression, and so of possibility… Social reality is lived social relations, our most important political construction, a world-changing fiction.
Donna Haraway (1985) "A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century"
Machines for Hardrock explores objects as political tools of power through their social, economic and ecological dispersion.
