IAAC BLOG – Results from the seminar

The seminar invited participants to experience nature as a complex multiscale entity and journey into microscopic worlds of survival and rejuvenation. The research sessions focused on exposing examples of man-made urban ground and infrastructure. Through case studies, the seminar delved into the invisible scales of city landscapes, analysing microscopic phenomena embedded in urban techno soil. By collecting data and samples from parks, gardens, demolition sites, or fractures and voids of highly industrialised areas, the collective research journey into scales alongside microscopic organisms contributing to the recovery of toxic and injured landscapes.

Through art, science, and digital craftsmanship we develop forms of agency contesting to agents at the microscopic scale, exposing how climate change impacts the environment at a microscopic level. Using open-source tools, students have the potential to translate data into the artistic domain, creating new environmental imaginaries and envisioning mediating forms between human impact and biological resilience.
