GRADUATE LECTURE SERIES | SYMBIOTICA
February 13, 2004
5:00 pm
SymbioticA is a research laboratory dedicated to the artistic exploration of scientific knowledge in general, and biological technologies in particular. It is located in The School of Anatomy & Human Biology at The University of Western Australia. SymbioticA is the first research laboratory of its kind, in that it enables artists to engage in wet biology practices in a biological science department. Artists can act as important catalysts for creative and innovative processes and outcomes. They can also critically examine the various assumptions, and delusions, built in to the "scientific method". SymbioticA sets out to provide a situation in which interdisciplinary research and other knowledge and concept generating activities can take place.
The Friday Graduate Lecture Series
Unless otherwise noted all lectures begin at 5:00 pm and are free and open to the public.
