Rather than a preliminary understanding of the term ‘symbiosis’, ‘the instinctive symbiosis’ by Vinn Patararin, investigates and challenges far beyond fundamental possibilities of ‘living together’ between organisms and inanimate objects. With fabric’s pure state of flexibility, lines of nerves, directly inspired by natural wave con- tours, are cut to assemble a mimic life form. Alike all organisms, consecutive stages such as folding, inter- secting, and interweaving of an initial motif evolve and increase its complexity by changing in forms, growing in sizes, and increasing in volumes and voids. Such life-forming processes start from measuring fabric pat- terns and adapting ratio of variations on an individual context of a human body. Then, the fabric pattern is scanned and processed in Rhino3D for a digital illus- tration and parametric movement effects. Technology and man-made are cohesively orchestrated by using laser cutting to reproduce an organic tissue and forming afterwards by manual handcrafts. Suddenly, the fabric becomes animated. This fabricated instinct clings on its host to sense and synchronize an interaction with natural feeling and its imagery. At last, human beings are literally back to nature against their concealed instinct, which is hard to express out from an obscure process of the mind remarkably within this materialistic world.
