SymbioticA’s Automated Cultures Digestion

This symposium with Tarsh Bates, Sarah Collins, Dale Tilbrook, and Ionat Zurr moderated by Oron Catts, will explore and contest some of the fantasies surrounding tech based future food systems. It will focus on the attempts to optimise and standardise food production by removing uncontrollable variables such has sunlight (shorthand for seasonality and weather) and soil (or more generally, what we used to call nature…). In AgTech’s narrative, the means of production are growing ever distant from nature. In a sense AgTech calls for a metabolic rift; a state when a broken nature can no longer provide us with means of existence.
