Xenopolitics #1 Research – Creation
Various researches and experiments were carried out within the framework of the collective of artists Aliens in Green, by the artists Bureau d’études, Ewen Chardronnet, Spela Petric and Mary Tsang with a view to setting up an installation performed at the intersection of the laboratory analysis, observatory of controversies and board game. For the Sustainable Culture Laboratory (COAL-LADYSS), Aliens in green focuses more specifically on the relationship between food and toxicity.
For the Sustainable Culture Laboratory, the team is interested in toxicity in food and more specifically in the existence of endocrine disruptors, and anti-toxic food response pathways. The artists imagine the forms that a relational sculpture could take which would allow audiences or participants in a workshop or performance to take positions on the issue of endocrine disruptors, to build alliances between actors, to recognize lines of conflict and controversies between fields of scientific research and subjectivities, associated political, societal and cultural issues.

Meetings and workshops are organized throughout the project:
- Open Source Body Festival, la Gaîté Lyrique
A serious game on petro, agro and pharma toxicities policies affecting human and non-human actors involved in the global endocrine cycle was put in place, as well as various interviews about relationships with everyday toxicities.
- Festival We are not the number we think we are, Cité internationale des Arts
Aliens in Green intervened as part of the Arts & Sciences Chair festival with a series of performances, projections, laboratories, meetings, conferences and tastings around endocrine disruptors.
The Team
The Aliens in Green is a mobile investigative laboratory and tactical theater group that conducts research on alien agents of anthropocenic xeno-power. The laboratory implements intermedia processes that bring together open science, DIY practices, serious games, speculative storytelling, cultural intelligence and science fiction, so as to open up a critical public space. The action performed can therefore be understood as being both symmetrical and antagonistic to that of “Men In Black”. They act as discursive agents who deal with human relationships with forms of life of the third type. Unlike the “Men In Black” who operate in secret, the Aliens In Green act openly to allow Earthlings to identify the collusion between capitalism and xenopolitical interests.
