Hybrid Art

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?

Plant~Animals ~ Symbiosity of Creation

Elvin Flamingo (PL)

The work of Elvin Flamingo invites us to the world of the unique plant-animals Symsagittifera roscoffensis. In nature, these organisms most often occur as migrating communities. For the project, the artist created two incubators capable of accommodating 67 separate habitats, 100 colonies of the superorganism described above.

Punkte Radio

Mélodie Blaison, Lucie Bortot, Anne Line Drocourt, Samia EL HADJ, Typhaine Guilloux, Cinna Peyghamy, Simon Pochet, Audrey Repon

Punkte (.--. ..- -. .-. - .) is an eight-headed chimera, researching and working within the field of sound and beyond. As part of the Arts and Sound Creation 2021-2022 postgraduate session at l’ENSA Bourges, we aim to reconsider the relationship between the fine arts and sound matters. Our name, Punkte, is a tribute to Ursula Bogner, a scientist in the pharmaceuticals sector and a composer (recordings 1969-1988) who perhaps never existed. It is also a nod to the action video Punkt (2006), in which Roman Signer, filmed sitting in profile in front of a blank canvas, waits for the explosion of the firecracker behind him to surprise him and set him in motion.

Hypergravity Bio Portal

Christiaan Zwanikken (NL)

As part of the plant becomes a machine becomes a plant project of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Waag Society, V2_the lab for unstable media and Zone2Source, Christiaan Zwanikken started an experiment to grow a variety of red-leaved basil plants under hyper-gravitational conditions. Hypergravity is able to stimulate plants at a cellular level and changes the physiology in interesting ways.

Science in Residency, some kind of voodoo

Manthia Diawara (US) and Raoul Frese (NL)

In order to flip the more usual format of collaboration between an artist and scientist, Raoul Frese has taken on a three-year residency with filmmaker Manthia Diawara. Invited by GLUON (Brux. Belgium), their starting point was the impact of artificial intelligence at the village of Yene near Dakar (Senegal).

Merging experiences

Evelina Domnitch (BY, NL) and Dmitry Gelfand (NL)

Science is the source of inspiration for many of the artworks of Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand. Scientists are also fascinated by art. A portrait of interactions merges the borders of disciplines from the perspective of the intriguing and the inquisitive.
