manYdancing the molecular

manYdancing mix by Lamin Fofana manYdancing the molecular ornaments re-assembles those body practices of the early 20th century with the crisis-like experiences of a present in which algorithmic governmentalities and biotechnologies fragmentize and molecularize the bodies.
