Adam Basanta's work investigates technology as a meeting point of concurrent, overlapping systems; a nexus of cultural, computational, biological, and economical forces. In uncovering, augmenting, and creating systems of intertwinement, he is trying to touch a sense of “liveness” or a nearly- living quality, of the dynamism resulting from the unpredictable performances of various actants pulling independently in collective balance. His research and creation processes involve a balance of qualitative and quantitative approaches. He is particularly interested in the interplay between the two seemingly polar-opposites, binary viewpoints, and strives towards a cross-pollination in which one feeds and complicates the other, and vice versa.
