Workshop
May 15
We discussed two Claire Pentacost Readings-Beyond Face and Critical Inventory of BioArt .
The gist of the Pentacost readings were that artists work with the symbolic and that the Artist;s consent to work and learn in public is important.
We also discussed the political and cultural implications of Scientific Authority.
We also looked at Tuur Van Balen's Urban Geography project
Most of the Ideas[see above] today, dealt with the use of bacteria as
a) A sensor or Reactor - to Inputs,emotions,light..etc b) A Producer of energy, proteins..etc c) A Material
Is there Any way in which we can look at Bacteria from a purely non-symbiotic / non-anthropomorphic viewpoint? Can we use our technological "progress" to give a non-selfish gift back to our ecological siblings?
