The event is free and open to all.
“We live in the age of bacteria” – thus, puts the paleontologist and evolution
biologist Stephen Jay Gould an apparent paradox to a point: For it precisely
these – the oldest, smallest, most ubiquitous and abundant as well as
structurally simplest, diverse and variant organisms – that become increasingly
the focus of attention when we pose the question, today, of the nature of life
itself. All of this goes to the heart of the human self-image, bringing
bacteria both as matter and as a metaphor squarely into the center focus for
philosophy, art and the natural sciences. The conference explores why, how and
when bacteria broke the boundaries of specialized disciplines and began to
serve as materials, motives, models and metaphors in new contexts of knowledge
production. The spotlight, however, will be focused on bacteria, ‘booster’ of
the emergent research fields at the intersections of medicine, natural
sciences, humanities and the arts.
The event is the second co-production within the Strategic Partnership in Arts
and Culture between the Goethe-Institut Dänemark and the Department for Art and
Cultural Studies of the Copenhagen University. It is realized in collaboration
with Medical Museion (Copenhagen) and Micro Human (Berlin). Invited experts
from Denmark and Germany will discuss the potential of the emerging network to
intertwine social, philosophical and industrially relevant perspectives and
ways of thinking, between art-based research and research-based art,
architecture and art history as well as media- and literature studies through
to epistemology, medicine and synthetic biology.
In addition to the multi-perspective academic exchange of ideas, there will be
an art performance by Sabine Kacunko, open to the broader public.
