Echolocation
and perception. Sensing the world though ultrasonic ‘echo-perception’ has
many advantages. Ultrasound can be used to
penetrate a medium and measure ‘reflection
signature’. This not only tells us
about the location and shape of an object,
but can reveal hidden details about its
inner structure, which would not be available
to
us visually...http://arts.lboro.ac.uk

Biorama
2
University of Huddersfield and the Devil's Arse,
Castleton, Hope Valley, Derbyshire
S33 8WS
Workshops: June 24th and 26th, University of Huddersfield.
Biorama2 will explore the biology
of the underground through the
notion of 'umwelt'
developed by Jakob von Uexküll (1864 – 1944) and its influence on
the development of biosemiotics by Thomas Sebeok (1920 – 2001). Using
the underground of caves and mines and the organic life they contain as a form
of
parallel terrestrial biology, we develop a 'parallel science' through the study
of extreme and/or 'removed lifeforms' and through the science of astrobiology.
Biorama II will explore a rich contextual and conceptual background against
which to investigate some of the outer (or inner) limits of terrestrial biology
and
strategies for life…

Can artists work with animals as equals? It has
recently been discovered that humans are closer to the
higher primates than was previously thought. This exhibition,
organised by The Arts Catalyst on the 200th anniversary
of Darwin’s birth brings together a group of artists
who actively question the sovereignty of the human species
over the all other animal species. New Arts Catalyst touring
exhibition of new commissions and existing works by artists
collaborating with animals. http://www.artscatalyst.org/
