Subtle Technologies 2007
Presented by: Subtle Technologies
Artists from Leonardo Da Vinci to Damien Hirst have examined the complex and elusive relationship between science and art. As medical breakthroughs impact our culture in obvious health and welfare aspects they also influence art. Artists and scientists, as well as historians, ethicists, and other critical thinkers come together at this festival, creating a program that juxtaposes cutting-edge discussions on scientific exploration with radical artistic projects.
For the 10th Annual Festival, Subtle Technologies presents practitioners of arts, sciences and medicines, and those who study their context, historians, ethicists, and other critical thinkers to contemplate how these disciplines can work together and reshape perspectives on the body.
As scientific and technological breakthroughs prominently occupy our culture, we ask where the boundaries are. We investigate how we relate bodies in situ: as parts, as a whole, as systems; how we identify, map, modify, protect, violate, and heal.
The programming juxtaposes cutting-edge artistic projects and scientific exploration.
