(re)Performing the Posthuman

http://reperformingtheposthuman.yolasite.com/

21/22 may 2010 The programme will include keynotes by Rosemary Klich, Jennifer Parker- Starbuck and Stelarc, paper presentations, performances, video showings, a small exhibition space and a gallery in Second Life.

About: "...models of subjectivity that call into question the humanist concept of the body as a biological entity, and as the "container" of the human subject"... "drawing attention to inconsistencies between the theory's wider cultural implications and socio-political realities, others insisting on the possibility of a biological definition of humanness"... "It is therefore now an apposite moment to revisit the idea of the posthuman, and posthumanist approaches to performance art and theatre. The aim of (re)Performing the Posthuman is to create an opportunity to do precisely this and to discuss in what form (if any) non-humanist concepts of the body and subjectivity may still be useful as a conceptual and analytical framework in performance arts." --Mila 13:21, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Craig Venter on DNA and the sea

Craig Venter takes a break from his epic round-the-world expedition to talk about
the millions of genes his team has discovered so far in its quest to map the ocean’s
biodiversity.

Craig venter surveys the genetic biodiversity. In history surveying often meant taking possession.

DIYbio

Basierend auf das ArtScienceBangalore/Project des iGEM Wettbewerbs wurde eine kleine Forschung über "do-it-your-self" möglichkeiten im eigenen Atelier ein kleines Labor einzurichten mit dem man Biologie "hacken" kann. Bei der suche nach Informationen bin ich auf folgende Internetseiten gestoßen die sich damit befassen:

Eine Seite ist die Amateur-Bio-Hacker Seite DIYbio [2]

In der Stanford School of Medicine - Undersanding Genetics findet man Videos zu "Do-It-Yourself Strawberry DNA" [3]

Auf der nächsten Seite findet man interessante Artikel mit denen sich das ArtScienceBangalore Project befasst hat zu den Themen:

Art and Politics,Art,Science,Ethics,Design & Technology,Synthetic Biology,General Design Links usw. [4]

Wenn Salmonellen Leuchten!! Die OSAKA Gruppe präsentiert ihre Arbeiten.[5]
