Becoming Transnatural - Image by Lucy Mcrae

Together they develop images, experiences and intuitions for the TransNatural culture in the Verdieping of the TrouwAmsterdam building at the Wibaustraat.

A TransNatural technology plays by the dynamic rules of nature without ramshackling the planet. We have become TransNatural when the organic ecology, the media and information networks, and the economy have become one balancing whole, that can grow and develop. But what can we think and how should we act to become TransNatural?

At the symposium speakers will offer a varied introduction to workshops that will explore the theme in roughly three different area's: economy, aesthetics, and everyday life. With workshop and lectures by: James Auger & Jimmy Loizeau, Sascha Pohflepp, Arne Hendriks, Christina Stadlbauer (AT) / The Human and Apian Foraging Network and TU Delft/ iGEM.
