TABOO - TRANSGRESSION - TRANSCENDENCE

Hub of Art Laboratories (otherwise known as HAL), one of the most ambitious and innovative research programmes ever carried out by the Department of Audio and Visual Arts of the Ionian University, will receive its first major showcase at the upcoming Taboo – Transgression – Transcendence in Art & Science Interdisciplinary Conference, held in Valletta, Malta, between 26 and 29 September 2023.

The article "Taboo-Transgression-Transcendence (TTT): “Rethinking the Wolf” in Malta" with an interview with TTT founder Dalila Honorato by Cherise Fong was just published by Makery.

Rewilding Cultures (RC) is a Creative Europe collaboration project, which wants to reposition the wild within the field of art practices connecting to science and technology. As the European cultural sector has been and still is affected by multiple subsequent and coincident crises (incl. COVID-19, war-induced inflation, migration) we need to rewild on terms fit for the present and future.

A detailed and important article related to the hybrid events of the TTTlabs BioFeral.BeachCamp (BFBC): entitled "Exploring science and intimacy through artificial reproduction in Greece", written by Elsa Ferreira, was recently published by the makery.info (editor: Ewen Chardronnet). The full article follows below. 

Applications are now open for TTTlabs and TTTfellows, both co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union and the Ionian University within the Feral Labs Network. Dedicated to issues related to new reproductive technologies, TTTfellows: Art and Science Residency series taking place on 17-30 April (online) and 1-16 May 2023 on the island of Corfu. Running in parallel, TTTlabs BioFeral.BeachCamp (BFBC) kicks off with its first theme, New Repro-Rebirthing Retreat (NR-RR) - Gestalt Bioart/Bodyart on the Beach (GBBB) in Corfu on 5-14 May 2023.

The fifth international conference Taboo - Transgression - Transcendence in Art & Science will take place September 27–29, 2023 in Valletta, Malta. TTT is an interdisciplinary and nomadic event, where both practitioners as well as theorists present and discuss the status of art-science and/or art & technology. TTT, created by Dalila Honorato, Assoc. Professor, Dept Audio & Visual Arts of the Ionian University, is based on the support of a large informal network of international researchers and practitioners that develop their activities at the edge of art and science intersections. The conference language is English. Proposals must be sent electronically through the EasyChair submissions system until January 31st, 2023.
