Ecology of the Digital World
Limits of the material, Sustainable and/or high-tech
Lea Schmidt (CH), Jessica Bulling (DE), Bettina Weber (DE), Dr. Marc Mosch (DE)
During this event, we will give an insight into the current state of the various research fields, showing how material can also be digitalized and brought into a library. We are also going to work and talk directly with all visitors. An essential aspect is the question of the acceptance of alternative materials in everyday life as well as in professional contexts.
BioBoxes
Sarah King (GB)
In this video we will be interviewing Sarah King about the importance of Biomaterials, materials development and sustainability in 2020. Find out how STEAMhouse are getting involved through the Bioboxes project! If you have any questions or would like to discuss this topic further, reach us on our platforms!
You and I, You and Me
Mindaugas Gapsevicius (LT/DE)
Imagine the future. Humans, computing machines, and various types of hybrids share the space they live in. Senses are altered, some are inextricably linked to computing devices. Electricity is used to control the space and the beings living in it.
Plant trafficking workshop
Brigita Kasperaitė (LT/DE)
The workshop "Plant trafficking" re-thinks the monetary value of nature and its place in our daily lives. The journey that plants take until they settle in one's home makes us see them as trophies.
Sourdough DNA
Kamilė Krasauskaitė (LT)
The workshop questions food consumption and origins. Major topics and interests in this workshop include commensality, experimental food design, patterns of time, as well as the collaboration between humans, microorganisms – how do these factors shape the food we eat?
Material Workshops
Brice Ammar-Khodja (FR), Vanessa Mardirossian (CA), Matthew Halpenny (CA)
Sensitive membranes, Textile Dyes Workshop, Workshop on Open-Source Microbial Fuel Cells
Unburn It
M Wingren (FI/US), Carl Victor Wingren (FI), Arto Chydenius (FI)
The interactive composition “Unburn It” approaches a digital new deal from the perspective of music. It begins by examining how music is played online; often echoing pre-digital constraints, such as linear recordings that are the same with each playback.
The Blue Humanities Archive
Justyna Górowska (PL)
DNA is capable of storing digital data better than silicon in our computers. It fits millions of terabytes in a few grams suspension in the water, minimizing the ecological cost of the global network of digital databases. The binary code only needs to be decoded into the synthesized DNA strands.
Latinamerican Bioart Lab
Alejandra Marinaro (AR)
The Latin American Bioarte Lab (LatBioLab) explores more than 12 years of bioart in Argentina, from "The Biosphere Project" by Joaquin Fargas (AR), to "Cellular Seeds" by Alejandra Marinaro.
Cycles
Fabián Andrade (CL)
La República de la Montaña is a permaculture farm located in Peñalolén which, together with the Chilean Video Corporation, want to bring us closer to nature. The search for autonomy comes as a deep reflection of our own life cycles and their impact in our life. Get to know the dependent works of Whitesample and the robot Orchestra, and celebrate We tripantu with Comparsa Chin Chin Tirapié, celebrating neo-ruralism in a post-pandemic context.
