Alison Hiltner Exhibition Opening
+ Medicine & Media Arts Meeting / Panel
Alison Hiltner views herself as a science fiction archeologist exploring the landscapes of video games, films and other related media, sourcing narratives to intertwine with tidbits of scientific reality. Utilizing a knowing naiveté, Hiltner maintains a sense of wonder in her work, allowing humor and a touch of the absurd to hover around the surface. She uses this interplay of fact and fiction to emphasize how our existence can be a constant reminder that, “Science is magic that works”(Kurt Vonnegut).
Alvaro Azcárraga Awarded Residency at the University of Buffalo!
Alvaro Azcárraga is a Mexican artist and researcher that works with plant-like organisms with a focus on the history of scientific colonialism. With a background in Molecular and Cellular Biology, he looks at how the micro relates to the human and beyond. His work also examines the post-natural, specifically looking at the artifice that is embedded within the term natural. He has been working with Maize for the last 5 years. Past projects include things like laser etching maps of Tenochtitlan onto tortillas, collecting maize seeds from all over the globe, to growing maize varieties to engage in a genetic-based conversation.
