Dear Spectre, please find here a call for participation to our Merry CRISPR workshop which will take place at the Biofilia laboratory of Aalto University from 11th to 15th of December in Helsinki Finland.
CRISPR refers to a range of novel gene editing systems which can be programmed to edit DNA at precise locations. In the workshop we will work with artist Marta de Menezes and others to investigate and work with CRISPR, look into its materiality and artistic possibilities, and discuss and explore socio-cultural, political and ethical implications. You can find the full call with workshop details here: https://bioartsociety.fi/posts/merry-crispr-workshop During the workshop week we will also hold two public events: # on Tuesday 12th December a round-table about de-extinction with the book presentation of "Rise of the Necrofauna" by Britt Wray http://www.brittwray.com/book/ # on Thursday 14th December a presentation by artist Marta de Menezes about her work within biological arts http://martademenezes.com/ For both events we will still send separate invitations. Best wishes Erich ______________________________________________ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
