DIGITAL UNIT RESEARCH presents


BIORAMA

Friday July 13th


Bioarama
is a one-day event that illustrates new directions in art, science and
technology by bringing together artists who explore notions of life,
science and digital realities. By presenting these artists in the
context of the DRU Artist in Residence project Biorama will explore a
rich territory in which multiple threads of investigation come together
to manifest unique interpretations and unfamiliar possibilities.

Biorama serves to contextualise, examine and expand upon the
research carried out  by Andy Gracie (hostprods) during his residency
which weaves together the microbiology of the Pennines around Marsden
Moor, traditional and digital networking systems, satellite
communications, perceptions of landscape and the history and possible
future of interstellar communication.

Biorama will take place in two stages with the Biorama hike in the morning and the Biorama sessions in the afternoon.


Biorama Sessions
_starting at 3.30 pm- 10 pm @ the Bates Mill Studio [new location!!]

The
Biorama Sessions will introduce a number of artists whose work explores
the natural environment, artificial landscapes and interactions with
real or imagined lifeforms. Each session will feature a double
presentation with two artists introducing their work and exploring
common territories before brief open discussion.

3.30 pm Introduction: Derek Hales +  Mónica Bello 
4.00 pm Session 1: Andy Gracie (hostprods)

Biorama Hike
_leaving from the Media Centre, Huddersfield at 
9.15 am, returning at 2 pm
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A
5 mile guided walking lecture and environmental study with Andy Gracie
and Brandon Ballangee on Marsden Moor lasting around 3 hours. The walk
will cover some of the physical territory featured in Andy's research,
the moorland area in which he has been walking, meditating and
collecting samples. The talk will cover the parallel conceptual
territories including the topography of local transmission masts, the
history of interstellar communications, the landscape painting
tradition and the micro ecology of the moors. Simple scientific field
experiments and samplings will be carried out at various points on the
way which will provide a window on the methodologies and concepts which
Andy has been attempting to weave together throughout the residency.
The hike will strive to provide a holistic experience beyond mere
exercise and study where we can experience nanometers and light years,
the intimate and the expansive, and the networking of ideas.

Each participant will receive the Biorama Hiking kit with
which to enhance their experience of the event. Return transport from
Huddersfield and soup will be provided. Participants should book in
advance as places are limited and should bring sturdy walking footwear,
appropriate clothing and sunblock.

SORRY BUT THERE ARE NO PLACES LEFT IN THE HIKE!!
