  This week's exploration of the connection between space and art has been super fascinating. Peljhan's project Makrolab combines scientific and artistic experiments to reflect on social conditions and produce new ideas. He believes that isolating individuals can lead to more creative and evolutionary thinking than large social movements. This perspective highlights the intricate link between art, space, and the way we live and think. Peljhan's work shows that art can transform our understanding of space, making the artificial seem alive and the repetitive unique (Peljhan, n.d.) Reza, J. R. (2019, September 30).

This relationship continues to be essential as we move forward. Levrier quotes Roger Malina, who emphasizes that whi...

       Attending "Rhizosphere: The Big Network of Small Worlds" was a transformative experience that deepened my understanding of the intersection between art, science, and education. This project, a collaboration between the University of Arts in Poznań (UAP) and the Adam Mickiewicz University (UAM), explores plant social networks and their cultural implications. Through interdisciplinary workshops, lectures, and artworks, the event was an appreciation for the symbiosis, diversity, and interdependence present in both natural and human ecosystems. The Rhizosphere project shows how combining different disciplines can turn into innovative solutions and different perspectives. In the tour of the exhibition, we were shown how artists and scientists collaborate to explore the Wood Wide Web and provided examples of how different approaches can enhance research and creativity, similar themes I have gone over in my blogs, like Jenna Sutela’s “Wet-on-Wet” exhibit (Sutela, n....

Biotechnology influences art concepts by offering new tools and mediums for creative expression. Artists can harness biotechnologies like genetic engineering, tissue culture, or bioinformatics to explore themes of identity, nature, and the human condition in unprecedented ways. This integration of science and art challenges traditional concepts while pushing the boundaries of artistic innovation.  The passage in our agenda illustrates the cross between science and art through the exploration of classification and creativity. Levy highlights how scientific discoveries, such as the work of Carl Richard Woese and Lynn Margulis, influence art by challenging established notions of life and identity (Levy, n.d.). This connection underscores a broader cultural interest in how biotechnology shapes our perceptions of life (Levy, n.d.). Discovery of the DNA double helix – 65 years on . Nordic Biosite.
