[Liuhum] Invitation: "S(c)en(t)sory Foraging: the eros of olfaction in multi-species metabolisms" EBL webinar on 26th Oct, 13-15h

[Olga Zabalueva]

Dear all,

Warm welcome to The Eco- and Bioart Lab webinar with Dr Tarsh Bates (Umeå University) on"S(c)en(t)sory Foraging: the eros of olfaction in multi-species metabolisms" that takes place on 26th Oct at 13:15-15:00 CEST on Zoom.

S(c)en(t)sory Foraging: the eros of olfaction in multi-species metabolisms



ABOUT THE WEBINAR:



This seminar presents an overview of Tarsh Bates’ artistic research with the human as a queer ecology, taking seriously the agency and response-ability of micro-organisms within this ecology, attempting to understand and navigate the microbiopolitics of multi-species Umwelten. Tarsh presents previous voyages in the CandidaHomo ecology and introduces a new project which ventures into the tactility and in/tangibility of olfaction in multi-species digestions. Odorants are fundamental within metabolic processes, ingested, digested, excreted through the living, the non-living and the semi-living. This project positions olfaction as a transcorporeal, queer sense-ability, a microbiopolitical eros.
