ARS ELECTRONICA ARCHIVE - ART & SCIENCE

The basis of the „European Digital Art and Science Network“ is a big manifold network consisting of scientific mentoring institutions (ESA, CERN, ESO and Fraunhofer MEVIS), the Ars Electronica Futurelab and seven European cultural partners (Center for the promotion of science, RS – DIG Gallery, SK – Zaragoza City of Knowledge Foundation, ES – Kapelica Gallery / Kersnikova, SI – GV Art, UK – Laboral, ES – Science Gallery, IE. The EU funded project lasted from 2014 to 2017.
The Online Archive of Ars Electronica provides an overview of the individual activities of the network and also delivers information about the network itself, the residency artists and the involved project partners and the jury.

BIOESTETICA is the second project of Zaragoza City of Knowledge Foundation within the program of the European Digital Art and Science Network. It is an ambitious project that takes the form of an expanded exhibition, made up of artistic residencies, workshops, conferences, exhibitions, and films, on the impact of biotechnology on contemporary artistic imaginary.

The term “post-nature” reminds us that nature is no longer what it was, and that we urgently need to find spaces, ideas, and practices for critical thinking. What role do science and technology play in redefining life in the 21st century? What ethical and aesthetic implications emerge? What influence do humans have in the Anthropocene period? Will a post-anthropocentric paradigm be able to change this? What role can creative action play in this scenario? There are many heterogeneous artistic practices, sometimes generically referred to as “bioart”, keeping pace with biotechnological transformation. How can artistic practice express bioknowledge? What problems and potentials arise from the multiple interactions possible between art, science and technology?
