Soft Technology of Nature: ecoLogicStudio's Living Installation in Bologna
ecoLogicStudio, founded in London in 2005 by Claudia Pasquero and Marco Poletto, presents The Soft Technology of Nature at serra madre in Bologna until April 1. The installation features bioreactors of algae and intelligent molds, showcasing a 'soft technology' that adapts and interacts with the environment. Curated by ecoLogicStudio, the project is part of the European PHOENIX project, in collaboration with the University of Florence and the Emilia-Romagna Region. Serra madre's artistic director Nicoletta Tranquillo emphasizes the installation's role in challenging anthropocentrism and fostering dialogue between art, science, and ecology. The work redefines technology as a collaborative partner with ecological processes, not a dominating force. Entry is free.
