LIFESCIENCE: LIFESCIENCE raft

 
---------------------------------------------------------
ARS ELECTRONICA FESTIVAL 99
LIFESCIENCE
Linz, Austria, September 04 - 09
http://www.aec.at/lifescience
---------------------------------------------------------
i agree w/ mary's comments here - and perhaps one problem is simply
over-saturation w/ too many possible threads - in this & other like
contexts i find that the problem isn't that there's nothing to talk
about but that beyond an initial discussion of issues, anxieties, and
dismissals, there's no consensus on where to go w/ a given topic (be it
cloning or transgenic art or defining "lifescience").

which is why it would be wonderful if there were some statements or
utterings from those working more w/in the sciences, so as to at least
create a more heterogeneous dialogue -

judging from the many media reports regarding new developments in the
lifesciences the public is being well-trained to facilitate anxieties
over big science - so if we have no problem worrying or being
reactionary or being critical, one big question is whether a politics of
lifescience is even possible, if dialogue can be instrumental in
effecting local changes, if some form of cultural activism is effective,
or if we are resigned to at most respond to or mirror a lifescience that
is always several steps ahead...
