The Environmental Humanities Center and the VU Art Science Gallery present :
The current exhibition of the VU Art Science Gallery features artworks that explore how technology mimics or interacts with biological, psychological, or physical processes. In a series of podcasts accompanying the exhibition, VU researchers from astrophysics, literature studies, law, and anthropology engage with the works from their scientific perspective. At this event, the artists and researchers will come together to discuss the potentials and insights to gain from ‘natural technologies’ and multispecies cooperation.
