The Infected Nucleus is about “the self” pulling itself apart, battling and then ultimately accepting its solitudes, its struggles, the variable infections of its conditions. What results is not triumphant, but transformative.  The Infected Nucleus adopts the creative act as an analeptic response to living within systems of normalized cruelties. It’s offered as an artifact of defiance against the bubbles of self-delusion and denial, apathy and hatred. A curious offshoot from a polarized world of binaries. A cohesive salve formed between two artists Daniel Cordani and Robert Booras fortifying themselves against the jarring madness.
