TechnoScience Salon

Monday, March 19, 2012
4:00pm to 6:00pm
Room 120, 215 Spadina Ave, Toronto
Free, no registration required

In collaboration with TechnoScience Salon, Subtle Technologies is pleased
to invite you to join this discussion featuring Hannah Landecker (UCLA), a
leading scholar of the histories of legacies of cell science and
technologies, and artists Jack Butler, Heidi McKenzie, Nadine Valcin and
Jennifer Willet.

Featured Speaker:
Hannah Landecker is an author and Associate Professor of Sociology at
UCLA. Her research interests are the social and historical study of
biotechnology and life science, from 1900 to the present, the intersections
of biology and technology, with a particular focus on cells, and the in
vitro conditions of life in research settings.

In conversation with 4 artists:
Jack Butler's hybrid practice uses the means and methods of visual art to
produce research in two domains – medical science and collaborations with
Inuit artists (the current project, Art & Cold Cash). With degrees in visual
art and philosophy, Butler exhibits internationally with work in public and
private collections including the National Gallery of Canada.

Heidi McKenzie is a Toronto-based ceramic artist completing her final year in
Ceramics at Sheridan School of Craft and Design. In 2010, Heidi left behind her
work in the cultural sector and committed to her new life path as an artist. Heidi
is a the recipient of the 2011 Emerging Artist Award for the Toronto Artist
Project juried art show and sale as well as the 2011 Metchosin International
Summer School Bursary.

Nadine Valcine fell in love with cinema after earning a degree in
architecture. For the past decade, she has written, directed and produced
television programs and magazines. Modulations, an experimental project, was
followed by the documentary Black, Bold and Beautiful (1999) which picked up
an honourable mention at the prestigious ‘Columbus International Film and
Video Festival’. She is presently in the process of writing her first
feature film dealing with a former child soldier seeking refugee status in
Canada.

Jennifer Willet is an internationally successful artist in the
emerging field of bioart. From 2000-2007 Willet and Shawn Bailey
collaborated on a project called BIOTEKNICA. She taught in the Studio Arts
Department at Concordia University from 2000-2007, and completed her PhD in
the Interdisciplinary Humanities Program at the same institution. In 2009
she opened a bioart research and teaching lab called INCUBATOR: Hybrid
Laboratory at the Intersection of Art, Science, and Ecology at the
University of Windsor.

lecture series

SymbioticA and the Institute of Advanced Studies at UWA present the Semipermeable public lecture series. Just like a semipermeable membrane, SymbioticA offers exchange between art and the life sciences. SymbioticA is developing a new research project entitled Semipermeable, which will be facilitated through a multiplicity of artistic and scientific approaches. This quarantine will allow for controlled hybridisation and will act as a membrane for cultural production.

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
SYBHEL Project
Calling all writers, film makers, animators and artists - do you have a story to tell about the impact synthetic biology may have on future people? Throughout history, people have used their imaginations to create stories. While stories often entertain, they are also used to make sense of human experience and gain insight into philosophical questions. The possible health advances from the emerging science of synthetic biology may have a significant impact on both our lives and the lives of future people. The SYBHEL Project is instigating a short fiction competition in order to imaginatively consider these issues. We are interested in stories told using a range of different media including writing, film, animation, graphic novels, spoken word or music.

Due: 16 April 2012

CALL FOR PAPERS

In July 2011 a group of artists, scientists and students worked with Dr. Jennifer Willet to build a portable bioart laboratory in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Participants completed a variety of art/science projects within the outdoor lab and presentedtheir projects to
the public at an open house event.

BioARTCAMP worked to provide an alternative vision of
biotechnology through the intersection of art and science.

You can watch a video based on this camp here:

It takes an artist like Björk to turn the complex process of DNA replication and transcription into something as simple and beautiful as a pop song. For the video of her song "Hollow," from last year's app-based album Biophilia, Björk has collaborated with biomedical animator Drew Berry to create a partly-scientific representation of the haunting song.

"Hollow's" instrumentation is sparse — a rhythmic organ-like pulse and Björk's echoing voice. The blending of the electronic manipulation of the vocals, which makes it sound like there's a whole tribe of Björks singing in unison, and the thudding electronic notes give the song a feel that is primal yet futuristic. The lyrics add to the sense of looking back hundreds of generations: Bjork yearns to "belong" to the "generations of mothers" that pulse through her body, to be part of the necklace of "jewels after jewels."

Art Meets Science At New SLU Exhibit

Art meets science as several biological specimens of frogs, fish and other microorganisms have been turned into a visual assortment of photographs now on exhibit at St. Lawrence University's Brish Art Gallery.
St. Lawrence faculty members, biologist Alex Screiber and bio-archaeologist Mindy Pitre used microscopy to photograph organisms stained with dyes to capture a visual display of metamorphosis.

Other works include photographs of tadpoles and frogs as well as microscopic images of other biological specimens.

Gallery officials say the artists selected the images on exhibit for their aesthetic appeal and scientific value.
