Utilize digital making and autonomously-led research to represent and augment your understanding and relationship with biological processes. Dive into the Adobe Creative Suite, hand illustration, and analog to digital scanning to develop your own visions of the future of biodesign and biotechnology. Guided by material created by designers like Dunne and Raby, speculate on the future of scientific inquiry. Historically, art technological tools have vastly changed our ability to present and experiment with the natural world-consider, for example, the Ware Collection of Blaschka Glass Models of Plants at Harvard, protein modeling through digital 3D software, and the series of macro botanicals documented by the German photographer and sculptor Karl Blossfeldt. What's next?Led by a public health practitioner with extensive experience as a graphic designer, take a multi-pronged investigation into the future of wellness. Explore speculative design creations produced by artists who have used art to conceptually respond to infectious disease and decreasing clean water resources. Draw on works that have been made in collaboration with bacteria, like the work of Christina Agapakis and Sissel Tolaas: making cheese from human bacteria. In this example, instead of simply being illustrative or creating speculative tools, place yourself in the shoes of the "invaders" (i.e. pollution, germs, antibiotic resistant bacteria). Might they, these so-called invaders, in the fictional reality we are weaving together, adapt to become friends instead of foes? Imagine new realities that allow for engagement with the life forms all around us. What does a microscopic being feel? If an infectious agent could see, how would it see?
