Biotechnology Patent Remixing

iBiology.net “… allows users to reflect on and perforate the low visibility of patents which draw on recent biotechnological practice.”

Conceptual Design/Info Arts Links

I just found out gabrielharp.com is linked to Stephen Wilson’s: Conceptual Design/Info Arts Links

It’s tagged as “reflections on evolution.” nice.

There’s a huge list there of biology-infused art on the web. Take a look. You have to scroll down some to find the listings, but it’s very complete- a great index.

Upcoming Presentation

On Saturday, October 7th I will be giving a presentation to the Association for Integrative Studies at their Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. The presentation is summarized as follows:

Endless Forms: Engaging an Evolution Theme Semester

During the 2006 winter semester a group of University of Michigan students organized an international contemporary art exhibition to engage the topic of evolution. This theme was part of a larger effort within the university to highlight this contemporary social concern within its undergraduate educational programs. This exhibition, entitled “Endless Forms: Engaging Evolution,” brought together artists from varying educational levels and communities to create and stimulate dialogue both within and among communities and disciplinary affiliations.

The Association for Integrative Studies is an interdisciplinary professional organization founded in 1979 to promote the interchange of ideas among scholars and administrators in all of the arts and sciences on intellectual and organizational issues related to furthering integrative studies.

The meeting offers a broad spectrum of presentations dealing with the multiplicity of ways in which integration of human capacities, academic disciplines, career practices, and social institutions increasingly characterizes higher education in the United States and around the world.
