Both are known for their unique and transgressive approaches to the intersection of art and biology. The talk, titled "Bioart - The Art and Politics of Art and Life Science Workshopology," will take place at the C' Sculpture Lab.

The event will explore alternative practices in art labs, focusing on the intersection of biology and creative expression. Key themes include heritable genome editing, decentralized artistic research, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

 

Dalila Honorato:
"Rethinking the Wolf: Alternative Art-Lab Practices"
An exploration of guerrilla tactics in post-genomic art, the role of artist communities, and the significance of decentralized, non-hierarchical collaboration in shaping a creative future.

 

Adam Zaretsky:
"Bioart: Art and Biology Studio Practices in Heritable Genome Editing"
A discussion on transgenic human germline editing, the ethics of genome engineering, and immersive bioart residencies, including insights into life science wetlabs and DIY biology.

Both speakers are affiliated with the Interactive Arts Laboratory at the Department of Audio & Visual Arts of the Ionian University, where they co-direct the TTTlabs and TTTfellows—part of the Rewilding Cultures project, co-funded by the Creative Europe Program.
