Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. Bioluminescent creatures are found throughout marine habitats, from the ocean surface to the deep seafloor. Bioluminescence occurs through a chemical reaction that produces light energy within an organism's body.
S Rodriguez is a Texas-based interdisciplinary artist, writer, and curator. They are the co-creator of Paraspace Books, a transient bookstore dedicated to queer sci-fi and speculative fiction. Their work most often explores the intersection of futurisms, technologies, and the radical possibilities of queer bodies, whether in physical, digital, or linguistic spheres.
S’s practice is grounded in their own experience of growing up southern, texmex, and trans. Drawing on non-canonical queer histories and futures, their work implements sci-fi strategies as a way of imagining and co-creating new ways to structure and de-structure the world.
They have exhibited and performed in various galleries around Texas and beyond, including the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, DiverseWorks, The Blaffer Art Museum, Lawndale Arts Center, Art League Houston, Sabine Street Studios, the Austin Public Library, the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, and Alabama Song.
