The Milieux Institute is proud to announce the participation of several of its members in Rencontres Interdisciplinaires. Organized by Hexagram, Rencontres Interdisciplinaires tackles current research-creation discussions through the prism of a specific theme. For this 3rd edition, discussions will focus on the theme of agency·ies.
After the recent discoveries in the fields of biotechnology, AI, robotics and environmental sciences, among others, new questions about interactions between human and more-than-humans have emerged.
Those new interactions highlight new forms of agency that raise questions not only about our relationship with the world, but also challenge artists and researchers’ anthropocentric posture. In this context, participants will reflect on how research-creation offers new modes of engagement with agents, materials and objects that oscillate between art and science?
During those 4 days, Milieux’s members will take part in round tables, conferences, demonstrations and workshops to put forward singular research-creation approaches that highlight the capacities of objects, whether human or non-human.
