Exchange ideas with Agi Haines

one on one in the greenhouse

11 dec 2015

A new breed of artists is on the rise. They work with living matter, nature and have a strong emphasis in biology and life sciences. In this emerging field of Bio-Art and Design there’s need for extensive collaboration. That's why we invited Agi Haines to the Biotoop for a personal consultation, for you to attend to. Her work is focused on the design of the human body and she has been selected for a one year residency in the Netherlands by the Bio Art & Design coalition.

Agi Haines

After completing her masters in the Design Interactions department at the Royal College of Art, she is now studying for a PhD within an interdisciplinary research group called CogNovo. Working amongst various artists and scientists who are all focused on creativity and cognition, her inspiration comes from the weird and wonderful things that exist inside us. Questioning how our morbid curiosity for the viscera of life might affect the future of design, not only for the environment but also for us as sentient sacks of flesh within it? Agi is winner of the Bio Art and Design Award and is currently selected as artist in residence for the Bio Art & Design coalition (3Package Deal) by the Waag Society, VU university and Mediamatic.

For whom?

Are you stuck with a project? Are you interested in the future design of our body? Did you attent the biotalk and have questions remained? You are welcome to come in on Friday December 11, between 14.00 and 17.00. For an appointment confirmation send an e-mail to rosa@mediamatic.net.

Exchange your ideas

During the consults you will sit down with Agi Haines to discuss you work, ideas and challenges. You can expect an honest talk filled with (unwanted) advice and original ideas. The conversations will take place in the Greenhouse at the Biotoop, located at the water site and a nice space for some thorough thought exchange.

You can find the Mediamatic greenhouse at Dijkspark 6, on the water site.
The consultancy is free of charge.
