Tired Moths and Quiet Stars
Sibylle Schroer (DE)
Das Projekt Tatort Straßenbeleuchtung arbeitet mit Bürger*innen und Schulen zusammen, um die Auswirkungen des Designs von Straßenlampen auf fliegende Insektenpopulationen zu erforschen. Schließe Dich dem Team im brandenburgischen Makerspace Verstehbahnhof an, wo Teenager aus der Umgebung Daten zur Umweltverschmutzung sammeln, bevor sie die vier Standorte von Tatort Straßenlampen besuchen und lernen, wie man Fluginsekten erkennt.

Mutations of the image. The revolt of photography
The first Valdivia International Festival of Photography, Directed by Carlos Fischer, was shaken by the revolt. The photographers changed their workshops on the streets. Lectures mutated. Images too. The abundant photographic material produced during those days in Valdivia, along with the video that reconstructs the convulsed days of the festival, make up an unexpected videogram of the revolt that can be viewed on the online platform of the Replica Gallery associated to UACh's Mutations project.
Ecosystem mutations. Wetland Removal.
An 8.5% of the surface area of Los Rios Region in southern Chile is made up of wetlands. Around the city of Valdivia, the presence of wetlands is particularly dense and some areas today are national monuments. A wetland is an ecosystem that is sometimes divided at the surface, but which constitutes a networked ecological continuum. Thus, to alter a part of the wetland is to modify the whole ecosystem. Promoting the convergence of different organizations, the Austral Garden program proposes an aerial route over the geography and natural environment where Universidad Austral de Chile is located. The purpose is that scientists and researchers can share their studies and reflections to spread the importance of wetlands, as well as showing the mutation of this natural eco-system.
