About this set
- Talk
What is life? This question has invigorated science, philosophy, and art, and today it is being reshaped by emerging technologies. With tools like CRISPR & AI, scientists are developing “Synthetic Biology 2.0”, creating “self-assembling” cells, programming proteins and organoids. As the possibility of “designing new life” becomes more tangible, it raises ethical and societal concerns that we need to consider. The Un|Natural Selection Club offers a space to explore these questions collectively through artistic and experimental engagement with emerging scientific findings. Together, we’ll craft, sculpt, mutate, synthesize, hack, reimagine, and animate life through art to make-sense of what we are made of and provide a broader picture as to what considerations of “life” – taken more openly and metaphorically – need to be included when thinking about how we want to live in the 21st century. The art created during this workshop will serve as a catalyst for dialogue with scientists.
