SUMMARY:Bio Art Workshop: Halifax Yeast with Jennifer Willet
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to create microbial art with artist\, Jennifer Willet using…yeast! \nParticipants will create their own Bio Art project\, using simple ingredients\, and watch their work come to life—literally. \nIn this workshop\, participants will take an already prepared Petri dish and make a collage to tape to the back of the dish. Then they will swab their local environment and leave the completed dish with us. \nEmail addresses will be collected\, and participants will receive a photo of the dish a few days later. All pieces created during the workshop will be on display (and still growing) at the Anna Leonowens Gallery from May 27 – June 1. \nMORE INFORMATION: \nThis event is free with admission to the Discovery Centre and open to everyone.\nThe venue is fully accessible.\nParticipants under 16 years of age need to be accompanied by a caregiver. \nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nDr. Jennifer Willet is artist\, curator\, and leader in the field of Bio Art. She is a Canada Research Chair in Art\, Science\, and Ecology and a professor in Creative Arts at the University of Windsor. Dr. Willet is also the director of INCUBATOR Lab—a BSL2 Bio Art teaching and research facility in Windsor. Her work resides at the intersection of art and science and interspecies interrelations in the biotechnological field. \nABOUT IOTA’S BIO ART SERIES: \nImmerse your senses in the transcendent discipline of Bio Art. IOTA’s Bio Art Series continues this spring with a collection of talks\, workshops\, and exhibitions designed to bring Bio Art into public and accessible forums. Get curious and explore artistic and research practices\, interdisciplinary challenges\, and the social implications of Bio Art through this free series of events running in May 2019. \nIOTA acknowledges the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and Discovery Centre.

SUMMARY:Meet the Artist: Ruth Marsh
DESCRIPTION:Meet the artist whose work focuses on absence and loss in the natural world. \nVisit and ask questions with the creator of the immersive\, cinematic production of CYBERHIVE—a stop-motion animation using dead bees—running now in the Dome Theatre at the Discovery Centre. \nMORE INFORMATION: \nThis event is free with admission.\nThe venue is fully accessible.\nCYBERHIVE will be playing in the Dome Theatre at 12:30pm and 3:30pm.\nTickets to CYBERHIVE screenings can be purchased at Discovery Centre’s Front Desk ($2). \nABOUT THE ARTIST: \nRuth is a Canadian multidisciplinary artist of settler ancestry based out of Kjipuktuk\, (Halifax\, NS\, Canada). Her practice employs an absurdist approach\, which seeks to queer the intersections between DIY culture\, art making\, and science fact/fiction/fabulation to address memory\, healing\, and cybernetic interconnection in both bodies and environments. She approaches her practice from a perspective\, which is part mad scientist and part devoted repair technician and through processes\, which are inherently labour intensive\, repetitive\, and painstaking. She is interested in playfully exploring the ways in which modalities of labour can translate into a study of both enacted care and hopeful mourning. \nABOUT IOTA’S BIO ART SERIES: \nImmerse your senses in the transcendent discipline of Bio Art.
