University at Buffalo (UB)
Paul Vanouse will give a talk followed by a brief tour of Coalesce Center for
Biological Arts. Coalesce is UB’s new hybrid studio laboratory
facility dedicated to enabling hands-on creative engagement
with the tools and technologies of the life sciences. It is a place
where artists, designers and architects actively learn, use and create,
using life sciences technologies as their medium; scientists explore new
forms or broader cultural meanings of their work; and philosophers,
writers and social scientists interact in a tangible way with the
processes of the life sciences. However, it is a place where such
disciplinary labels are challenged and hybrid creative practices are
incubated. This event will be followed by a reception.
