Synthesis: Call for participants - 4-9 July 2011. Laboratory takes place at University College London. Deadline for proposals to participate: 10am, Mon 4 April 2011. Synthesis will be a 6-day intensive exchange laboratory for artists, designers, synthetic biologists, engineers, and others from relevant disciplines, collaboratively exploring synthetic biology's ideas and techniques and its social and cultural implications.
The exchange laboratory will be devised and led by scientists including Prof John Ward (UCL) in collaboration with artist/designers Oron Catts (SymbioticA UWA/Royal College of Art) and Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg (Synthetic Aesthetics). Synthesis is organised by The Arts Catalyst with UCL and Synthetic Aesthetics. The exchange process is intended to explore and challenge the notions of synthetic biology, the level of control and manipulation of living systems, the application of engineering logic, and the social and cultural dimensions of synthetic biology; with the hope to inspire proposals for future projects from all participants.
