This evening’s conversation brings together art historian, Robert Zwijnenberg and media artist, Timothy Weaver to explore transdisciplinary practices bridging art, design and science with particular attention to the emerging field of biomedia and the notions of biocultural expression that have evolved from historic animistic encounters to bioinformatics and genetic engineering.
