Inheriting from the Incubator
Dorthe, Gabriel
Inheriting from the Incubator - 2016.
6
This text offers wild variations on the incubator. It aims to consider this medical object through its consequences for the (reluctant to live) newborn child. It attempts to arouse interest in the precarity of espousing three important concepts: autonomy, freedom, and a stable sense of belonging to the living world. Made up of practices and techniques, the incubator is a sensitive device, in which something other than death can be negotiated. But the incubator is also the privileged place to forge strong, fragile, and vital relationships between humans and technology, being far removed from a vociferous desire for control, or an anxious pursuit of immortality.
