Fluid Matter Special
Evenementdetails
Beschrijving
De Fluid Matter Special op woensdag 18 januari biedt de mogelijkheid om zelf aan de slag te gaan met kunstenaars en te ontdekken hoe zij werken. Tijdens het uitgebreide programma met lezingen, masterclasses en performances presenteren kunstenaars en wetenschappers, ontwerpers en denkers verschillende vraagstukken op het gebied van bio art en design en biowetenschappelijk onderzoek.
Met de tentoonstelling Fluid Matter verkent MU de fluïditeit binnen en tussen lichamen, cellen en stoffen. Fluid Matter is opgebouwd rond de drie winnende projecten van de Bio Art and Design Award 2016, ontwikkeld in samenwerking met vooraanstaande Nederlandse onderzoekers in de biowetenschappen. Ze worden getoond naast andere recente werken die betrekking hebben op fluïditeit.

Buffering PH, maintaining tooth mineralisation, influencing oral microbiome, protecting and hydrating oral surfaces are just some of the many important functions that saliva performs on a daily basis. Whether from a microbial, genetic or chemical point of view understanding saliva is vital to understanding how our body works and our relationship to our ever-changing environment. Throughout this three hour workshop participants will collect their own saliva and explore the dynamic process of crystallisation, occurring from bones to phones. Each participant will gain a glance within the behavioural qualities of their own unique mix of proteins and minerals.
Duration: 3 hours

Lilian van Daal & Roos Meerman
Lilian van Daal and Roos Meerman are inspired by nature in the search for new materials, equipment and production application. Their project, Dynamorphosis merges the invisible biological process of the body with 3D printing, with attention to biology’s ability to self-assemble, transfer substances, and maintain equilibrium. The designers’ explorations test the potential of such systems as formal and functional inspirations for design. The result is a series of printed, kinetic objects. During their masterclass, they will guide the group in their expansion in technique and materials. Participants are asked to bring their laptops.
Duration: 1,5 hours

Pei-Ying Lin: Tame is to Tame
Pei-Ying Lin developed the project Tame is to Tame in which she proposes an alternative relationship between humans and viruses. During her masterclass she will guide the group The virus- taming program is built on virology research and shifts from the typical, kill-at-any-cost model of aggression towards a more collaborative and nuanced exchange. Through the roleplaying game Tame is to Tame participants will speculate about alternative relationships between humans and viruses. Pei-Ying Lin and Rachel Chang wil guide the group in making special tools to enhance physical movements that play an important role in the game.
Duration: 5 hours

Xandra van der Eijk
Within the research project Genesis, Xandra van der Eijk is studying the color properties of extremophiles, microbes that can survive or even thrive under extreme conditions. These life forms can be traced back millions of years, and are speculated to be the earliest forms of life on the planet. Their robustness and stability, even in environments as unforgiving as space, suggest they are likely the first sort of extraterrestrial life we expect to one day discover. Xandra van der Eijk will give a masterclass together with biologist Federico Muffatto. During the masterclass you will study the color properties of seaweed whilst extracting pigments from these plants.

The Fluid Matter Special on Wednesday January 18, 2017 provides an opportunity to work together with artists and discover their practice. During the extensive programme with talks, masterclasses and performances artists and scientists, designers and thinkers will pursue questions on bioart and biodesign practices and life science research.
With the exhibition Fluid Matter, MU presents an exploration of fluidity inside and between bodies, cells and substances at vastly different scales. At the heart of Fluid Matter are the three winning projects of the Bio Art and Design Award 2016, developed in collaboration with leading Dutch researchers in the life sciences. They are presented alongside several recent works that share a dimension of fluidity.
