Jenna Sutela’s work is experimental as in it invokes the laboratory, the clinical test, and the scientific. In her profile on the Finnish artist, Sarah Johanna Theurer highlights how the artist reveals, in furry creatures and sterile facsimiles of scientific spaces, how humans begin to reflect their technology. She aptly calls on Laura Tripaldi’s concept of “soft technologies,” to discuss this phenomenon “in which biological, chemical, and technical systems cannot be clearly separated, and where matter is understood as permeable and continuously in transformation.”
