FIBER & de Brakke Grond present: Coded Matter(s) #7: Extended Senses (01/06/2014)

Explorations within and beyond our senses

On Sunday 1 June, FIBER and Flemish Arts Centre De Brakke Grond present Coded Matter(s) #7: Extended Senses; a day and evening of discovering and exploring how technology enables new sensory experiences of nature and networks.

During Extended Senses, artist talks, installations and demonstrations will let you see and experience the possibilities and dangers of these developments. Listen to plant conversations, see the data created by your body or play a game with your own muscles. Artists, designers and scientists show how human senses are being expanded or applied differently, how previously invisible processes of man and nature can be made visible, useful and even aesthetic. The programme starts in the afternoon and goes on into the evening, supplemented with thematic films, music and food, spread out across the various inside and outside spaces of De Brakke Grond.
