	"Field_Notes – Deep Time"

"Field_Notes – Deep Time" is a week long art&science field laboratory
organized by the Finnish Society of Bioart at the Kilpisjärvi Biological
Station in Lapland/Finland. Five working groups, hosted by Oron Catts,
Antero Kare, Leena Valkeapaa, Tere Vaden, Elisabeth Ellsworth and Jamie
Kruse, together with a team of five, will develop, test and evaluate
specific interdisciplinary approaches in relation to the "Deep Time"
theme.

"Field_Notes – Deep Time" is in search of artistic and scientific
responses to the dichotomy between human time-perception and
comprehension, and the time of biological, environmental, and geological
processes in which we are embedded. The local sub-Arctic nature,
ecology, and geology, as well as the scientific environment and
infrastructure of the Kilpisjärvi Biological Station will act as a
catalyst for the work carried out.
