*particle group* is a collective consisting of Amy Sara Carroll (poet/scholar), Ricardo Dominguez (artivist), Diane Ludin (new media artist), and Nina Waisman (interactive sound artist), with a number of others flowing in and out (e.g. Marius Schebella, Pierre Galaud, and Césaire José Carroll-Domínguez). Invested in the artivist (art + activist) and paraliterary, the group mixes mediums and metaphors to produce gestures that forge a subversive relationship with the newest frontiers of technological science. Drawing upon varied traditions of performance art and poetry, dance, movement studies, and critical theory, *particle group* seeks to datamine transperversal tales of the global Matter Market, to re-tell and re-own them in ways that unhinge the vested interests of venture sciences’ speculative fictions. They challenge us to think small, really small, even smaller, at the miniscule scale of bits, atoms, neurons, and genes. *particle group* has exhibited and/or performed at ISEA (San Jose, CA), the House of World Cultures (Berlin, Germany), the San Diego Museum of Art (San Diego, CA), Oi Futuro and FILE (Brazil), CAL NanoSystems Institute (UCLA), the Medialab-Prado (Madrid, Spain), the e-Poetry Festival, (Barcelona, Spain), and SOMA (Mexico City, Mexico).
