Introduction to Co-Corporeality – Of Humans, Machines, & Microbes

Editors: Barbara Imhof, Daniela Mitterberger, Tiziano Derme

Round table Co-Corporeality – Of Humans, Machines, & Microbes reflects on an FWF funded artistic research project that investigated non-verbal communication with our microbial environment through living and grown material. While the book was an in-depth, multidisciplinary exploration of how humans can engage sensorically with their microbial environment, the panel discussion will further extend the inquiry of Co-Corporeality into viewpoints from media studies, choreography, architecture and design research. The panel will begin with a discussion on the cultural and scientific relevance of observing our environment at different scales in order to understand ecological relations and co-corporealities.
