This page traces the history of multidisciplinary work on social dimensions of body data led by Kit Kuksenok, PhD (aka i0 xen0). Through research and teaching collaborations, my mission is to expand the collective imagination of technology's role in how we understand and imagine the human body. This project explores both critical and curious perspectives on the sociotechnical aspects of body knowledge.
This page was last updated October 20, 2025. Some of the past online events have been recorded and can be viewed; as a starting point, I would recommend the 2023 NeMe talk.

What are the possibilities for sociality within body knowledge production - including not only discursive practices, but also drawing and creative exploration of body data?
Practice
How do we know what we know about hormones? (HumDrum Press 2024, Forthcoming) The culmination of my artist residency at the School of Commons (Zurich 2022), book is not a book about hormones. Rather, it is a book about how we humans think about our hormones, and how we know whatever we know about our hormones. This book is also a collection of invitations to draw, discuss, move, and imagine the internal bio-chemical dialogues that our bodies hold within themselves.
