*Inoculum – Connecting the Other*
*4–5 February 2016, CLB Berlin*

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.
