Co-creation with plants. Making new kinships from art and science
14.03.23
Plants make up 80 percent of the earth's biomass: there are about 320,000 plant species on our planet and each is essential for our survival, as their vital photosynthetic processes prevent the collapse of entire ecosystems. However, our understanding of the world as we now know has been built on a human-driven model of predatory consumption, neglecting the fact that our home is a place shared by many, though we are neither the only inhabitants nor the most important.
To deeply understand nonhuman concerns, it has become necessary to think about alternative relations with what we classify as nature and technology.
"Co-creation with plants. Making new kinships from art and science” is a transdiciplinary symposium that will gather visual artists, philosophers, historians, musicians and scientists researching narratives of cooperative coexistence between plants and humans.
The symposium is organized by postdoc and artist Maria Castellanos on behalf of FeLT- Futures of Living Technologies, an artistic research project led by Kristin Bergaust, professor at the Faculty of Technology, Art and Design at Oslo Metropolitan University.
From a perspective of ecological crisis, FeLT, engages in the relations and intersections that occur between human beings, living environments and machines, relations on the edge of how we experience aliveness today.
The speakers/ performers are:
Kristin Bergaust
Maria Castellanos
