I will be participating at the 3rd Istanbul Design Biennial "Are We Human" with a new piece. For every day of the Biennial, there will be a new "simit" (a traditional Turkish baked good) with microbial ingredients designed by the Microbial Design Studio. More info on the project can be found here:
Indexical Design Symposium
I am very pleased to chair the panel on the Embodiment of Meaning Across Scales at the Indexical Design Symposium organized by Dietmar Offenhuber at the Northeastern University. The event is definitely one of the most comprehensive gathering of artists, designers, scientists, and scholars who think deeply on the materiality of data and alternative modes of experiencing information.
Wetware: Art | Agency | Animation
I am very happy to participate at Wetware: Art | Agency | Animation curated by David Familian and Jens Hauser at Beall. It is great to be in company of Adam Brown, Gilberto Esparza, Thomas Feuerstein, Lucie Strecker & Klaus Spiess, Evelina Domnitch & Dmitry Gelfand and Anna Dumitriu. Biorealize will make its first public appearance along with some new experiments with semi-living artifacts. The exhibition will be complimented by an international symposium on "Gene Editing, Artificial Life and Ethics."
Biorealize featured at PopSci
After many months of work in the studio Biorealize: Microbial Studio became public with an article on PopSci. Thanks to Lydia Chain for the coverage.
