‘’Companionship’’ is centered around the notion of reproduction as the technological and biological compatibility of two, three or more organisms. The device allows the gestation of an embryo between two genetically incompatible organisms. In this way motherhood can be redefined in relation to the other mechanical and animate creatures, as well as in relation to the broader ecology in which they are placed into. In this way the notion of family can stop being associated with DNA and the notions of affinity and companionship can be redefined, inside a common biological matter. The creature that gestates is being directly connected to the embryo through the device, while being indirectly connected to his environment through a ‘’family’’ of drones. In this way, the creature can communicate, collect data and interact with his surroundings, consisting of a self organized and autonomous kitchen ecology. The drones care, water and pollinate the different plants and help with the organization and balance of the interior ecosystem. Both the creatures and the space of the kitchen constitute an undivided and unique ecology, where the boundaries and physical limits between the bodies are liquid and fluid, open to mutual interconnections and inter-affiliations among them.
