A Search for TechnoChildren

As a part of my artistic research I will be conducting an artistic residency with Kommunal Kunst og Teknik at their studios in Copenhagen, and I want to gather fellow TechnoChildren to explore if we can find a kind of kinship through a common technological method of conception: being the child of sperm and egg donors.

Everyone is welcome, and please reach out if you feel like this calls you, but you’re not sure if you fit into the category of a TechnoChild, I want to talk about it, it’s an open definition, an open question! 

I will be hosting in-person gatherings for this community in Copenhagen in May 2024, and the date and time will emerge depending on the availability of those of you who reach out. So let me know if you’re interested and when you can come meet up!

(For those based around Helsinki gathering will happen later in 2024.
But a virtual community, dialogue and platform can emerge also.)

*Questions that are present in my research at the moment:*

What are the boundaries of kinship?
On what basis is it possible to define nationhood?
How can one feel unknown ancestry?
What is the lived impact of performing kinships of our choice?
What gives one the feeling of, and the right to claim citizenship?
With what bodies, in whose body & with whom in my body do I feel at home?
What defines and holds a community together?
How can I explore the relationship between gender dysphoria and ‘genetic-dysphoria’?
