DESCRIPTION

The Parasite is almost the antithesis of the Symbiont. It stands as a metaphor of the technology that invades our lives, that appropriates every part of us and feeds on our energies, and our data, growing and acquiring more and more power, so as to overwhelm the host organism. The work asks us a question that is also a warning for the future. What will happen to the organism once the parasite is eradicated? Can it survive? or is it destined to succumb because it is too addicted to the presence of the host?
