Evo Devo Art
April 15, 2022 @ 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm EDT
Join us for this virtual session of the series BioArt Talks @CBIS, presented in conjunction with RPI's Center for Biotechnology, the ARTS department & the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, and the Sanctuary's NATURE Lab.
Anna Lindemann will present her work as an Evo Devo Artist. In her creative work, Anna combines animation, video, music, and performance to explore the emerging field of evolutionary developmental biology (Evo Devo). Her work seeks to uncover narratives within rigorous scientific research, to visualize biological processes in novel ways, to define new artistic creative processes modeled on biological processes, and to examine the human emotion and subjectivity behind scientific research. As part of her talk, Anna will highlight several Evo Devo Artworks including The Colony, an art-science performance about sisterhood and the evolution of social life in humans and ants.
