DIGITAL UNIT RESEARCH presents


BIORAMA

Friday July 13th


Bioarama is a one-day event that illustrates new 
directions in art, science and technology by 
bringing together artists who explore notions of 
life, science and digital realities. By 
presenting these artists in the context of the 
DRU Artist in Residence project Biorama will 
explore a rich territory in which multiple 
threads of investigation come together to 
manifest unique interpretations and unfamiliar 
possibilities.

Biorama serves to contextualise, examine and 
expand upon the research carried out  by Andy 
Gracie (hostprods) during his residency which 
weaves together the microbiology of the Pennines 
around Marsden Moor, traditional and digital 
networking systems, satellite communications, 
perceptions of landscape and the history and 
possible future of interstellar communication.

Biorama will take place in two stages with the 
Biorama hike in the morning and the Biorama 
sessions in the afternoon.


Biorama Sessions
_starting at 3.30 pm- 10 pm @ the Bates Mill Studio [new location!!]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Biorama Sessions will introduce a number of 
artists whose work explores the natural 
environment, artificial landscapes and 
interactions with real or imagined lifeforms. 
Each session will feature a double presentation 
with two artists introducing their work and 
exploring common territories before brief open 
discussion.

3.30 pm Introduction: Derek Hales +  Mónica Bello
4.00 pm Session 1: Andy Gracie (hostprods)

Biorama Hike
_leaving from the Media Centre, Huddersfield at 9.15 am, returning at 2 pm
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A 5 mile guided walking lecture and environmental 
study with Andy Gracie and Brandon Ballangee on 
Marsden Moor lasting around 3 hours. The walk 
will cover some of the physical territory 
featured in Andy's research, the moorland area in 
which he has been walking, meditating and 
collecting samples. The talk will cover the 
parallel conceptual territories including the 
topography of local transmission masts, the 
history of interstellar communications, the 
landscape painting tradition and the micro 
ecology of the moors. Simple scientific field 
experiments and samplings will be carried out at 
various points on the way which will provide a 
window on the methodologies and concepts which 
Andy has been attempting to weave together 
throughout the residency. The hike will strive to 
provide a holistic experience beyond mere 
exercise and study where we can experience 
nanometers and light years, the intimate and the 
expansive, and the networking of ideas.

Each participant will receive the Biorama Hiking 
kit with which to enhance their experience of the 
event. Return transport from Huddersfield and 
soup will be provided. Participants should book 
in advance as places are limited and should bring 
sturdy walking footwear, appropriate clothing and 
sunblock.

SORRY BUT THERE ARE NO PLACES LEFT IN THE HIKE!!
