Alien Life: between brains, bacteria and matter.
24 June 2020 20:00 - 21:30
ART/SCIENCE PANEL in cooperation with Angewandte Praxis
as part of the Angewandte Festival > ZOOM link here >
"Alien Life" explores new ways and practices to create a new understanding of the relationships between humans, machines and living matter; all matter is part of one world and is not separated from each other. Thoughts on communication between humans, their technologized environment and living matter will be illuminated from different perspectives and seemingly unrelated worlds will be linked in discourse.
