Aurelia 1 +Hz / proto viva generator

Robertina Šebjanič (SI)

Aurelia 1+Hz / proto viva generator addresses the possibilities of coexistence of animals and machines. The project uses living organisms to process “aliveness” of a simple robotic machine. The two entities – jellyfish and robot – are separated. If they merge into one, causing new biocybernetic organism to occur, would they be able to live forever?

The Beep Electronic Art Collection, Reus

The objective of the Beep Electronic Art Collection is to be witness and agent of the transgression created at the intersection of art, science and technology. It is recognized not only for what it collects, but for how it does so; it has generated a new type of collectionism promoting programs of production, preservation and patronage of technological art, encouraging the debate around issues related to the introduction of new technologies in art.
