dear all, a friend of mine, Bartaku, sent me a link to an event that is going to take place in Belgium, and he is one the few people i know engaged in rather adventurous, heavy-duty science-art projects, so I wish to hare this with you:
*Shifting Scales* from microbial matter to microbes that matter Exhibition and Soirée This show is a journey through art and research, through life, death, and everything in between. It emerges from ongoing investigations on the importance of taking microorganisms on their own terms. Mycelium that repairs cracks or grows paper; unexpected materials created through co-cultivation of fungi and bacteria; “unseen” microbial worlds in nuclear power plants as resource for solar cells, … We are inclined to objectify and reduce these life forms and deploy them for our own purposes, without further questioning. *Shifting Scales* focuses on transdisciplinary collaborations that challenge human-centricity and demonstrate its decolonizing potential. We invite you to attune to a world full of complex, fragile, and surprising connections and to reflect together on relationships in the living world. With: Nele Buyst, Matthijs De Block, Marjan De Mey, Lealia Dierickx, Jonas Ghyselen, Janne Halme, Hamza Malik, Remy Ratajczak, Christina Stadlbauer, Bart HM Vandeput (Bartaku art_research), Fleur Willekens, Anne Willems. Practical information *When?* From 23 October 2025 to 12 January 2026 *Opening hours:* Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. *Where?* The foyer of the Brantijser (S.SJ building), Sint-Jacobsmarkt 13, 2000 Antwerp www.uantwerpen.be/en/about-uantwerp/faculties/faculty-of-arts/news-and-events/activities-flw/shifting-scales-en/ regards Johannes Birringer
