About Carbomantics
Carbomantics is an interdisciplinary organization and creative studio that re-envision carbon as a foundational material linking science, art, ecology, and social justice: The study of carbon’s role across life, technology, and culture—tracing its transformations from the soil to the stars.
Carbomantics Imprint Studies
Carbomantics Series I
Carbon Imprint Studies: Emergence & Control
Carbon Imprint Studies documents how matter records force, motion, and contact without sensors, intention, or representational design.
Each work (12) in this series is produced through controlled physical interaction between carbon particulate, paper, pressure, and movement. The resulting imprints are not drawings, images, or illustrations, but material records of interaction: artifacts generated by process rather than depiction.
Across the series, conditions are systematically varied to observe when structure fails to emerge, when it begins to cohere, and when it converges toward recognizable geometry. These outcomes are treated not as symbols or narratives, but as measurable consequences of material behavior under constraint.
Carbon Imprint Studies positions physical matter as an unintentional recording medium, capable of producing complex structure through blind interaction alone. The works invite viewers to consider where pattern originates—whether from human intention, biological precedent, or the intrinsic logic of materials responding to force over time.
Works from Carbon Imprint Studies are one-of-one originals.
Availability, pricing, and documentation are provided upon request.
Institutional placements and full-series acquisitions are welcomed.
Mission, Values, Research
Mission
To reimagine carbon not as a crisis, but as a conduit — merging science, art, and ancestral knowledge to build regenerative futures.
Vision
A world where carbon is understood as a sacred material — linking life, technology, ecology, and identity. A world where design and climate are decolonized, and innovation is rooted in justice, story, and soil.
Purpose
Carbomantics exists to:
- Explore the full spectrum of carbon — from molecular to mythological.
- Create radical media, materials, and education that shift mindsets.
- Convene thinkers, makers, and communities in labs, journals, and rituals.
- Challenge extractive paradigms and inspire new planetary protocols.
