<b>Inoculum – Connecting the Other</b>
<div><b>4–5 February 2016, CLB Berlin</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Dear fellow scientists, art lovers and friends,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>INTRO:</div>
<div>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.</div>
