Dear Colleagues,
please, see below some events you might find of interest.
specifically, I recommend the artist talk and discussion by interdisciplinary artist and scholar Daniela Brill Estrada on nov 21. She will be exhibited her work at the Osler Institute in Brampton starting from Nov 18

If you are looking for an alternative to Taylor Swift, and you are interested in all things viral, I am launching my book “viral behaviors” on Nov 14.

Shapeshifting Matter for an Unstable Universe
artist talk and discussion with
Daniela Brill Estrada
Thursday, November 21,
5:30-7:30 pm
The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Science
Shapeshifting matter for an unstable universe is an in-disciplinary artistic project that challenges taxonomies and categories that divide nature into different boxes, not allowing bodies to exist freely, simply as part of the shapeshifting matter that inhabits this universe. The research tackles topics from astrophysics to origin of life research, and is based on daniela’s own experiences in understanding her own existence outside of these categories.

Cover Image: Elaine Whittaker. Pandemic Convergence 1/2 (2020)
In a new era of global virology that requires novel methodologies to improve the comprehension of viruses and viral phenomena, Viral Behaviors explores the cultural, material, and artistic significance of viruses and viral phenomena.

The book contains a decade of research across art, science and technology and examines the struggles and successes of science and technology to tame the elusive nature and behavior of viruses, and the potential of art-based and cross-disciplinary collaborations to better communicate their complex making and intense entanglement with the world at large. Combining perspectives from art, philosophy, science and technology, it places biological and informational viruses alongside each other, revealing that, while the two types of agents affect the world in very different ways, their histories and manifestations contain surprising similarities that speak to a cultural continuum.

The book can be also borrowed from the University of Toronto Library and York University Library.
