Fermentation for cooking and preservation has old roots and can be found in most food cultures around the world. For a long time, people have chosen what to eat in order to maintain and strengthen a healthy gut. This seems to be a rising trend, with some using diet as a tool for managing a health issue or diagnosis, and an increasing interest in the gut microbiome.

Text as technology for care and understanding is an upcoming PhD course, asking what ‘text’ is, and how and when ‘text’ matters in practices of education, medicine, care, hybrid art, exhibitions and research. To explore these questions and their implications, we bring together interdisciplinary perspectives to problematize text as technology. The PhD course takes place […]

Online talk: Tomorrow June 10th from 11 to 13 you have the chance to join a conversation event taking place online as part of the Future Urban Legacy Lab online discussion series at Politechnico di Torino. 

In my previous blog post, I invited you on a virtual conceptual tour into the imaginary of The Living Room. Today I wish to dwell on the conception of care at museums and propose extending our sense of what it means to care beyond our inclinations to save at all costs. 

eventserie vil vi undersøge, hvordan banebrydende forskning i den forbundne krop påvirker nutidens og fremtidige muligheder for behandling af sygdomme.

How can writing down personal memories help us experiment with ‘body talk’? Sign-up here before June 2, 2021 to participate in the research project. PhD student Tine Friis […]

Jeg har designet plakaten til udstillingen “Corona bliver også historie en dag”. Underdelen er et billede fra et covid-19-testcenter. Og overdelen er fra en tegning af en sygeplejerske med maske under den spanske syge. På den måde viser plakaten, at udstillingen spejler den nutidige situation i fortidens epidemier.

Denne tekst af Adam Bencard er en del af udstillingskataloget ‘Mor!, Livets begyndelse’ der er udgivet i serien Louisiana Revy. Kataloget undersøger “moren” som kulturel figur set gennem kunstens linse.

One of the outcomes of the Microbes on the Mind project is a podcast series about our relationship with microbes – more specifically those of them that either live in us or enter us through food.

Da koleraepidemien ramte Danmark i 1853 var det et mysterium, hvor smitten kom fra. De fleste troede, at kolera smittede igennem luften, men karantæne foranstaltninger gjorde ingen nytte på koleraen, der ubesværet hærgede videre på trods af isolationsforanstaltninger. Først året efter kunne den engelske læge John Snow påvise, at kolera smitter igennem inficeret drikkevand.

The sonic arts have long been fascinated with accessing and revealing phenomena unavailable to direct aural perception. Seeking above, under or altogether beyond our scope of auditory perception – pursuing cries of bats, tectonic rumble, and electromagnetic fields – or merely those sounds inaccessible due to the constraints of time and space, such as vast […]
