Third Nature? Synthetic Life Design in Art and Ethics
The Transdiciplinary Research Area (TRA) Individuals and Societies, in collaboration with the German Reference Centre for Ethics in the Life Sciences (DRZE), the Institute of Art History, Bonn and the Kunstmuseum Bonn invites you to a dynamic exchange between the arts and academia.
Together, we will explore questions like, e.g. What might a "Third Nature" be? Does synthetic biology challenge the boundary between nature and artefact? What responsibilities arise when life is not merely modified, but deliberately designed? What role should the arts, philosophy, theology, and the natural sciences play in shaping public debates about emerging biotechnologies? How is the creative practice of art remodeled by synthetic life design?
