[Annick2]

Dear Spectrites,

Soon the end of the year holidays. Too much food and noise. 
When you need a break from the celebrations, here 2 more 
podcasts from the FEAT project to also feed your neurons!

"Quantum probing, experiencing nature or science?", meeting 
with Ruth Jarman, Semiconductor
Ruth Jarman, from the duo Semiconductor, talks about how she 
and Joe Gerhardt are, in their art, looking for the langage 
of science and man signature in nature. This journey is then 
built into their animation films and sound works. She 
presents and discusses their approach to art and to art and 
science collaborations and details their specific project in 
relation to the FEAT residency.

"Inspired by Nature: Swarm of robots and artificial life 
works", meeting with Vicky Isley & Paul Smith (Boredom 
Research) and Thomas Schmickl
Vicky Isley and Paul Smith forming the artist duo Boredom 
Research and Thomas Schmickl, the project leader of the 
scientific research project subCULTron talk about their 
respective approach of artificial life, both "in vitro" 
(artificial virtual creatures in a computer environment) and 
"in vivo" (robots and more precisely swarm of robots in 
natural environments). They present and discuss their common 
ground and questions in relation to the FEAT residency.
