Event Description

Nodes and Networks is a series of collective art and science experiments exploring biological systems as a model and metaphor for social intervention. Taking inspiration from slime mold navigation, bacterial communication, and insect cooperation, a group of artists, designers, and scientists are collaborating on a series of public experiments and interventions across New York City.

 

Contribute to the Collective Experiment in a day-long series of experiments and interventions taking place at the School of Visual Arts and other venues across the city. Experiments will include working with live slime mold, computer modelling biological behaviours and human scale collective experiments in the city.

 

Timings and locations of individual experiments to be confirmed, updates will be posted here and on twitter https://twitter.com/Nodes_Networks. Register interest here and detailed info to follow...

 

Come and work with an amazing group of artists, designers and scientists exploring biological and human systems in the city.
