UNRULY ECOLOGIES: BIODIVERSITY AND ART
A SYMBIOTICA SYMPOSIUM EXPLORING ART, ECOLOGY & ACTION
The ecology of biodiversity is based upon an uncertain definition,
incomplete statistics and the need to act in a world without balance.
While multiple flora and fauna databases have been established and
are being coordinated, and as natural biodiversity diminishes and
more technological life forms come into being, there is an urgent
need to engage even more proactively with complex ecosystems and
human responses. Artists, scientists, humanities scholars and
conservationists will come together for Unruly Ecologies:
Biodiversity and Art to talk of "matters of concern" around the
potentials and futures of biodiversity. Find out more
