This course is designed as an introduction to work with interfaces between living organisms and machines. The weekly seminar is divided into theoretical and practical parts. During the theoretical part, we will discuss artworks in relation to bioelectronics, also will take a look into contemporary discourses around biosemiotics and media theory. The biosemiotics part will be introduced by [[https://dariomartinelli.wordpress.com/bionote/ Dario Martinelli]] during the block seminar.
