Abstract:
From a collective discussion around the symbiotic thought of Lynn Margulis, the artists and researchers gathered in this roundtable discussion will exchange on their respective practices, all of which, in a singular way, intervene in the relationship between the environment, the living and the relationship to symbiosis. Whether it is a question of operating modes, artistic processes and sensitive manifestations (between images and moving forms) how do artists establish dialogues with the living? How do they observe it, how do they grasp it and for what purposes?
