Inoculum – Connecting the Other

4–5 February 2016, CLB Berlin
 
Inoculum – Connecting the Other
Lectures | performances | exhibition

Dear fellow scientists, art lovers and friends,
 
Just in time for the start of the cultural season we are going to host a conference on bio materials in science, art and philosophy in Berlin! We warmly invite you to two days of interdisciplinary discussions and a meet-up for future collaborations at CLB Berlin.

INTRO:
In the age of the anthropocene, our understanding of media and materials is in flux. Natural sciences are not only investigating living materials. Biotechnical methods are spreading into DIY-culture as well as into the field of bio hacking. Simultaneously in the humanities, the idea of the ‚post-human‘ has become a central topic. Artists are engaged in these discussions and are examining the relationship between humans and other life forms. In doing so they transcend the usage of living biological matter – be it of human or animal origin – as a mere tool, and foster collaborations between animate beings. It becomes a medium that allows for collaborations between animate beings. Inocolum deals with these interdisciplinary and interspecific entanglements. Experts from the arts, natural sciences and philosophy will discuss their individual access to notions of the living.
