Photosynthesis at the interface of Arts, Sciences and Society explores the dynamic intersection between science and the arts, with a focus on photosynthesis for societal impact. Photosynthesis is a long-standing subject of scientific investigation and artistic inspiration. In the scientific field, this theme unveils the processes governing nanoscale energy transfer, raising questions about the improvement of its functions and the potential advances in sustainable agriculture, green energy, and carbon capture. In the field of bio-art, this topic draws inspiration from the philosophical, societal, and environmental implications of recombinant genetics, molecular biology, and biotechnology.<\/p>\n

By bringing together researchers and artists, the dialogue will examine both scientific and creative approaches to understanding and harnessing this vital biological process, from the microscopic mechanisms of photosynthesis to large-scale applications such as regenerative life support systems for human space missions.<\/p>\n

The event will feature the participation of Prof. Nicoletta Liguori, Group Leader of the Photon Harvesting in Plants and Biomolecules research group at ICFO; the artistic collective DISNOVATION.ORG; Francesc Godia, director of the Melissa Pilot Plant project and UAB professor; Raoul Frese, physicist at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Head of the Hybrid Forms Lab and the visual artist and environmentalist Paula Bruna.<\/p>\n

Photosynthesis at the interface is organised by HacTe and ICFO, in the framework of the residency of DISNOVATION.ORG at the ICFO during the S+T+ARTS in the City project. The initiative is funded by the European Commission that aims to stimulate innovation between the arts, sciences and technologies, with the support of the Department of Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya. The event has the support of Ajuntament de Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Organising committee:<\/strong> Prof. Dr. Nicoletta Liguori (Group Leader of the Photon Harvesting in Plants and Biomolecules research group at ICFO), Prof. Raoul N. Frese (physicist at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Head of the Hybrid Forms Lab) and Tere Badia (Director of Hac Te)<\/p>\n
