Super-natural connects two points in time, the historical pre-enlightenment and genetic science of today, both periods signaling the onset of revolutionary or accelerated technological change. Integrating the practice of witchcraft with the emergent science of synthetic biology, Solanki highlights the rifts between science and experimental folk culture. Working in residence in a synthetic biology wet-lab, she has constructed a synthetic life, viewed through a scrying device.
