In this chapter we talk with the artist, programmer, writer and performer Martin Howse. Martin explores connections between the earth, its living organisms, geophysical phenomena, software, and the human psyche, working with speculative hardware based on environmental data in open physical systems, code that investigates the layers of abstraction, free software and situational performances and interventions. During the last years Martin has been exploring the geological within the body in projects like Tiny Mining or Becoming Geological. We talk with Martin to find out more about body mineralogy, extraction, synchronicity and immortality.
