Natural Habitat

What happens if art and nature and technology come together? Are new 
worlds created? Is the distinction between nature and technology still 
visible, or do the two increasingly merge with one another?

In the Natural Habitat project artists are working at the interface of 
nature and technology. Here they investigate the extent to which nature 
and technology complement each other, and show possitive ideas of a new 
nature. In Natural Habitat the boundaries between nature, culture and 
technology become increasingly blurred. The project consists of an 
exhibition Natural Habitat, from November 4 untill December 16 (opening 
November 4, 15.00 hour) and a seminar Art and Science in their Natural 
Habitat on Saturday November 11 from 13.00 - 17.30 hour.
