Translate “Listening to life: Biomimicry, between arts and science” this exhibition is only avaible in french.
Due to renovations in the Quai des Savoirs building, the exhibition is being held at Les Abattoirs museum<\/a>.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The various forms of life on Earth have been evolving continuously for 3.5 billion years; animals and plants have perfected themselves to adapt to their environment. This fascinating ability of living organisms is an inexhaustible source of inspiration, leading to the creation of materials, tools, and technologies. Since the 1990s, this research has focused around the concept of biomimicry, defined by the American researcher Janine Benyus. Inspired by\u2014and even imitating\u2014nature, biomimicry seeks above all to understand the principles of how living organisms function in order to devise more sustainable models of organization. In a world where humans consider themselves masters and owners of nature, biomimicry invites us to reconsider our relationship with living organisms and our place in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this approach inspires a variety of disciplines (architecture, design, engineering, medicine, etc.), artists and scientists are opening new paths. and exploring different ways of (re)conciling living beings, science, and technology from a resilient and sensitive perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition brings together the work of three artists, Pierre-Jean Giloux<\/strong>, J\u00e9r\u00e9my Gob\u00e9<\/strong>, and Paula Nishijima<\/strong>, whose respective practices involve careful observation of our environments, where artistic and scientific research intersect or merge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibited works offer opportunities to understand nature and \u201clearn to see,\u201d to reconnect with our world. Through a variety of media, particularly the creation of biomaterials, their work reconsiders the question of technological solutionism, while encouraging the creation of more subtle relationships based on interconnections and interdependencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
