The Rhode Island School of Design’s Nature Lab is hosting a half-day symposium to launch their upcoming exhibition on biodesign that will bring together international artists, designers, scientists and educators for talks, discussions and presentations on topics such as valuing non-human forms of life as collaborators, artistic and scientific modes of inquiry, and ethical considerations in bioart and biodesign practices.
Wyss Spotlight: The exhibit, Biodesign: From Inspiration to Integration, will feature the Wyss Institute’s Organs-on-Chips among recent examples of design and art that inform our complex relationship with nature and help us decipher how it may evolve in the future.
Registration is required for the Symposium. The Opening Reception, beginning at 5:00 PM is free and open to the public.
