Since spring 2020 Art Laboratory Berlin and BioClub Tokyo have been arranging online meetings between hybrid artists and associates in our respective cities and beyond. These meetings are a forum for exchange of research, practice and solidarity in times of crises.
In our 12th meeting of VIRAL CLOUD | Berlin Tokyo we feature presentations by designer and bioartist Fara Peluso and Bioengineer Sachiko Hirosue to talk about their practice in art and science, with special attention to DIY science practices.
Fara Peluso is an artist and designer based in Berlin working at the interconnection between design, art and science. Through a speculative design practice she raises critical questions about which possible relationships between human beings and living organisms can be envisioned for near possible futures. She will discuss her work with fungi (from the Mind the Fungi residency) and algae (Chromocene).
Sachiko Hirosue, Sci.D. is a bioengineer and educator, primarily interested in critical territories where science and biotechnology intersects with society. In practice, this translates to creating alternative spaces in dominant cultures
to approach science and technology differently.
This event is part of the Vorspiel Programme of the CTM and transmediale 2021.
