Dear Spectrites,
Early June, Leonardo/Olats moves north to Copenhagen, the time of the round
table "The Data Body on the Dissection Table" that we co-organise with the
Medical Museion.
If you happen to be in Copenhagen, we'll be happy to welcome you. All details
below.
Best
Annick

THE DATA BODY ON THE DISSECTION TABLE
Arts, Humanities, Medicine and Complex Networks
Evening Event
Leonardo/Olats – Medical Museion
June 4th 2013
Copenhagen, Denmark
6:30 – 9 pm
Dissection reveals what lies beneath the skin, but for a brief moment in
time, and for a priviledged few. Depictions, models, and preservations have
long been used to share what dissection uncovers; from ancient anatomical
drawings to today’s virtual 3D anatomies.
In the 18th Century skinned “écorché” figures and anatomical waxes were
constructed to reveal systems of interlocking bones, balanced pairs of
muscles, and delicately entangled traceries of nerves and blood vessels. The
Anatomy Lesson by Rembrandt, and the écorché The Horse Rider by Honoré
Fragonard are famous examples at the border between medicine, science and
art.
Contemporary medical sciences reveal ever more about the complex systems of
the human body – but at a barely perceptible level. The (medical) human body
today is understood, tested, and treated as a huge system of data, including
complex interactions between our genetic material, our environment, and our
host of microbial companions.
How do we grab hold of this data? How do we make sense of it and communicate
it to others? How do contemporary artists and designers give our ‘data body’
material form through images, sound, and touch? What kind of tools are
complex networks science proposing, and what kind of body do they reveal?
The Data Body on the Dissection Table brings together scientists, artists,
philosophers, and designers to explore these questions, through roundtable
presentations and audience discussion. The event takes place in Medical
Museion’s auditorium - the Danish Royal Academy of Surgeons’ former
anatomical theater.
Speakers include Albert-László Barabási (TBC), Distinguished Professor and
Director of Northeastern University Center for Complex Network Research,
Boston; François-Joseph Lapointe, Professor at the Biological Sciences
Department, University of Montreal and Artist; Annamaria Carusi, Associate
Professor in Philosophy of Medical Science and Technology at the University
of Copenhagen and Jamie Allen, Artist and Head of Research at CIID/Copenhagen
Institute of Interaction Design.
The event is co-organised by Leonardo/Olats and Medical Museion under the EU
Studiolab framework, and in conjunction with the Leonardo Day "Arts,
Humanities and Complex Networks" satellite event for NetSci 2103.
Attendance is free within the seat limits, refreshments provided.
