Poking Systems – Research Happening

The SENSING LIVING SYSTEMS Team invites to their current arts-based research-installation to reflect on arts-based research methods and practices

Programme:

Reflecting arts-based research methods and practices with artist duo MUELLER-DIVJAK
Participatory artwork extension with “powdering”

About the installation:
It is not possible to rule, to dominate living systems such as animals and human animals, oceans and rivers, societies and cities, organizations and governments, jungles and forests, schools and universities, national and international economies, climate and the biosphere, in the long term through linear, mechanistic thinking or even violent interventions.

Living systems are in constant interaction with their environment and are constantly shaping and transforming themselves. They can be influenced in thriving directions if we try to understand their inner nature, their inherent rules, trying to understand them deeply, with all our senses. We can gently poke, stimulate them. We can rethink and shift our ideas about boundaries – and also enlarge our circles of empathy and care towards non-human and more-than-human nature.

This multisensory installation offers an instant sensual glimpse into the research process, and possibly pokes awareness concerning living systems.
