Problem
The human-nature distinction separates human and nonhuman life. The binary justifies and encourages

Goal
To fabricate a hybrid space between the human-nature binary. Hybridity helps us see ecology as shared, vibrant, and interdependent. To explore posthumanism.

from Lucas Glen website
The work of Mat Glenn and Lucas Glenn explores the ambiguous nature of ecology. It explores the scary and unknown future that faces human and non-humankind. The artists intervene in the lives of found objects and digital materials. With their help the artists create multimedia installations, sculptures, and new media works. Often using difficult vocabularies. Mat Glenn and Lucas Glenn use the severe visual language of sports, the verbiage of online gaming, and aesthetics from popular science-fiction and fringe fantasy.
Their work presents a space for human bodies to negotiate preconceptions of species, hierarchies and ecological connectivity. Human-centred attitudes rely on dualities. Human and nonhuman. Life and matter. Subject and object. Their work aims to destabilize the space between these dualities. Something like a trapdoor into a networked, unstable, and mysteriously interconnected world.
