According to the philosophy of Creative Disturbance, those podcasts can be in many different languages, therefore the short descriptions below will not be translated. ● Viralité et Numéricité (20 min) - Thierry Bardini, Yvan Tina Longtemps considéré comme une entité semi-vivante, inerte et active, molécule et organisme à la fois, ou au contraire, rien de tout cela, le virus est aujourd’hui envisagé comme un agent essentiel à l’évolution de la vie chez les êtres vivants. Retour avec Thierry Bardini sur l’actualité de cette figure de l’écologie symbiotique, à l’intersection des mondes numériques et biologiques. ● Scénographies du vivant (14 min) - Roger Malina, Yvan Tina Peut-on (ou plutôt comment) penser le théâtre, la danse et les arts de la performance à l’ère des biotechnologies, de l’ingénierie du vivant et de l’émergence de formes de vie artificielles ?

Le titre de ce podcast renvoit à l’article de Morgan Meyer paru dans “Meta-Life. Biotechnologies, Synthetic Biology, A Life and the Arts”, Leonardo ebook series, MIT Press, 2014. ● Synthetic Biology: Creating or Constructing Life ? (11 min) - Sophia Roosth, Poe Johnson In her book “Synthetic: How Life Got Made”, science historian Sophia Roosth investigates the field of Synthetic Biology in which life and computer scientists advance new definitions of life by manufacturing it from scratch. ● De l’appropriation du vivant dans l’art contemporain (18 min) - Camille Prunet, Yvan Tina A travers les représentations de l’humain, de l’animal et du végétal, Camille Prunet intérroge dans sa thèse le traitement plastique du vivant dans les oeuvres biotechnologiques.

The laser cut relief sculpture functions as a traditional sculpture by day, with light playing across the faceted surface. By night however, projection mapping brings the work’s subject matter into clarity, as the large face becomes a death mask referencing recent killings of unarmed African American men (for example African American men who lost their lives in tragic encounters with the police in 2014). The form and spirit of this work is directly informed by the reliquary figures of the Kota People in Gabon.
