>From November 10, 2018 to February 15, 2019, N will gather in Mexico
City the knowledge of different organisations and collectives, who
work within the intercrossing of art, science and technology
(www.nfestival.mx). In this edition the participating instances will
discuss and develop the topic of epigenetics. The main idea is to
think of space as something constructed and negotiated within and
throughout multiple agents and agencies. Space is the result of
interrelations based on the mutual dependence of environments and
organisms. From the horizon of ecology and evolution, it is a question
of understanding the conditioned-conditioning relationship in space,
that is, how living organisms condition the environment, while at the
same time it is conditioned by them. N will take place at the Centro
de Cultura Digital and the UNAM.

The works presented in the exhibition Espacios de Especies / Species
Spaces question the categories of adaptation, variation and speciation
based on the relationship of reciprocity between living organisms and
the environment. These same themes are being debated in contemporary
biology, which opposes the gencentric paradigm and opts for an
epigenetic perspective. The causal reciprocity between organism(s) and
environment(s) and the idea that the structural/functional details of
the organism are not completely codified in the genome is explored
from a point of view that considers space - understood in a broad
sense - as a fundamental factor of interaction and continuous
formation. The exhibition will take place at the Centro de Cultura
Digital from the 10 of November to the 15 of February and is curated
by Maria Antonia González Valerio.
