Project Scientia
Single channel video. 2019

Installed as a projection in GODMODADOGGEREL, harrington’s video work poignantly balances DIY chemistry and physics experiments with meditations on power using the words of Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, Fred Moten and DJ Screw, amongst others, creating an lucid if unsettling window into the hidden forces that shape material histories.

From the artist’s website “harrington makes use of sculpture, photography, and drawing to reveal the political dimensions between knowledge production, and the abstraction of power.

Project Scientia aims to illustrate the genealogies of scientific demonstrations as pedagogical tools, recuperation as relief, and the nexus between poetics and science. The series of performances for the camera proposes new models of inquiry into the alchemical affinities that could be created between thinkers and makers. This is a proposition to generate new meanings through the poetics of science.
